Samaja reports more news on Ravenshaw University. Following are some points mentioned in their article:

• Ravenshaw has advertised for registration in its Ph.D/D.Litt/D.Sc program.
• They will semester system in the Bachelors and Masters level with half monthly examinations with four internal evaluations a year.
• Application form and admission brochure are now available in their website and May 30 is the deadline for application.
• Ravenshaw will not wait for the +3 results to come out and will finish admission based on the entrance exams by June.
• They are trying to have five year integrated M.Sc programs and if this program is established this year then they will admit students to this program from the students who have qualified for +3. The students do not have to apply separately.
• The state has released 10.5 crores to the university.
• A UGC team of experts led by Prof. S. Ramegowda (former Chairman, AICTE and former Vice-Chancellor, Karnataka University) will visit on June 12th.

Besides the above news from the Samaj article, I heard that the VC of Ravenshaw has met some Ravenshaw alumni who are in academia in Orissa and has sought their advice. This is a very good move on the VC’s part as there are some really top-notch academicians in Orissa with Ravenshaw ties.
