Mangalore University acquires data from UUCMS to issue physical marks card
Mangaluru: After several deliberations, Mangalore University (MU), which was assured to issue consolidated physical mark cards for its NEP batch students, has acquired data from the UUCMS to facilitate the process.
According to officials, the printing of mark cards for PG students under the NEP syllabus is underway, and UG and other courses will take some time.
MU needs to print over 45,000 mark cards for UG courses and is in the process of procuring materials, especially printing paper, for the same. There is a pressing demand from two batches of NEP-UG students to issue physical mark cards at the earliest, as it is hindering their prospects, whether for a job or higher studies, since currently, mark cards are issued digitally and available on DigiLocker.
"We were requesting to give all the data of our students to UUCMS. After long discussions and pressure, they finally handed over the data to us. It took nearly two months to procure the data," said H Devendrappa, registrar (evaluation) of MU. The syndicate body of MU has already approved providing a consolidated marks card to candidates, and procuring the data has delayed the entire process. Currently, the cross-verification of the provided data is in process.

"Since it is used officially by MU, the marks card needs to be proper without any error. It will be an issue for both candidates and MU when an issued marks card comes for verification of marks card/verification of genuineness. Once all this cross-checking is over, MU will start printing the same," said Devendrappa.
Meanwhile, the printing of marks card of NEP-PG courses is in progress. "Their number comes around 4,500 to 5,000 marks cards.
It will be issued soon. The UG and related course marks card number is 45,000 plus. There are two NEP batches, 2022-23 and 2023-24, whose marks card need to be issued at the moment," he said.
With the delay in issuing physical marks card, the passed candidates continue to suffer. They are unable to secure jobs and get into higher education institutions abroad since digitally issued marks card are not accepted, considering them not to be genuine. The students' union under Mangalore University has been fighting for one year to issue physical marks card for all under the NEP syllabus.

IGNOU, IIT Bombay launch AI initiative for regional language learning
Distance learning platform leader Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on Project Udaan, an AI-driven translation platform to promote inclusive and equitable education. Udaan integrates optical character recognition (OCR), layout preservation, domain-specific glossaries, and human-in-the-loop editing to deliver high-fidelity translation of academic and technical content into Indian languages. Through this collaboration, IGNOU aims to make its extensive educational resources available in multiple regional languages, thereby expanding access for learners across the country, a statement read. The collaboration supports the goals outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, particularly the emphasis on multilingual education, digital access, and academic equity, the statement added. The signing ceremony, held on Friday at the IGNOU Headquarters, was chaired by the Vice Chancellor of IGNOU. The event was also attended by senior academic leadership. Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, the chair professor in Digital Entrepreneurship at the Bank of Baroda and principal investigator of Udaan, represented IIT Bombay at the event. 'This partnership with IIT Bombay is a powerful alignment with our vision to democratize higher education. Through Project Udaan, we aim to bridge the language divide and empower learners in every corner of India,' the V-C of IGNOU said. Prof. Ramakrishnan said, 'Udaan is designed to serve the linguistic and educational diversity of India. This MoU marks a critical step in translating that vision into impact at scale, with IGNOU's vast learner base.' Prof. Nayantara Padhi, a professor at the School of Management Studies and MoU coordinator from IGNOU, said, 'This collaboration reflects IGNOU's commitment to educational equity and innovation.' 'By integrating AI-enabled translation tools with our academic delivery, we are opening new doors for learners in regional and rural contexts who will now have access to high-quality content in their own languages,' she added. 'It also contributes to national missions like Digital India and Bharat Bhasha, strengthening India's position in culturally grounded and inclusive AI research,' the notification read.

Mangalore University allocates seed grant for research
Mangaluru: Mangalore University (MU) has, for the first time, earmarked a total of Rs 5 lakh as a seed grant to encourage research on campus. This allocation is part of its budget for the financial year 2025-26 that was presented during the first special academic council meeting held on Thursday. Stressing the rationale behind the fund allocation, PL Dharma, vice-chancellor of MU, said that this initiative aims to fund a minimum of five of the best research proposals invited from the permanent faculty of MU this time. Initially, the plan is to allocate a maximum of Rs 1 lakh for each research proposal received from the faculty. Closure of courses with less demand Dharma, when asked about the closure of several UG courses, said that at University College, Hampankatta, a constituent college of MU, the BA travel and tourism management course has been stopped and merged with BBA. MU will also strengthen BBA courses by increasing admissions and offering a one-semester internship experience. The University College will offer a BCA course from the next academic year. "It has been decided that any courses under constituent colleges of MU with fewer than 30 admissions are not economically viable and will be closed from the next academic year (2025-26). The reason is that they don't generate income, and secondly, justice is not done to students since all the faculty here are guest faculty with not much academic experience. The academic exposure will be less," he added, stressing the reason behind course closures. MU has also decided to shift all PG courses offered at constituent colleges to the Konaje campus from next year. Only the International Business MBA offered at Evening College, Hampankatta, will remain as it has a good response, he added, noting that MU has requested the govt to take over constituent colleges under it. Fresh academic year from July end Dharma said that considering all 34 state universities, MU is one month ahead of them in the academic schedule. However, despite this, it cannot reopen on June 9, as it will start the second, fourth, and sixth-semester examinations on that day. MU has also not received any official communication on the same. "We are considering starting the fresh academic year tentatively from the last week of July. It is not at all possible to start in June," he stressed.
