Mysuru :

With University of Mysore (UoM) gearing towards its Centenary, it seems that some exciting steps are being taken by the University to enter the international academic community.

As part of these steps, a day-long workshop has been organised by UoM in association with the Alabama University of Huntsville, USA on Nov. 8 at 11 am at Maharaja College Centenary Hall.

According to a press release, circulars have already been sent to the Principals of all the University affiliated colleges to bring in ten of their most meritorious students who are pursuing their final year B.Com., B.B.M., B.B.A and B.Sc.

Speaking to SOM, Director of College Development Council Prof. Lingaraj Gandhi said that the workshop will be inspiring the students of various affiliated colleges to pursue their higher education at Alabama University. He added that the workshop will emphasise on the fact that not just technical students, but also other graduate students can pursue their higher education in the USA.

The idea behind this workshop is to develop relations among other international Universities, said Prof. Lingaraj Gandhi and also added that the University is looking forward to establish new ties in the global level. He also said that nearly 200 meritorious students from 40 to 50 colleges are expected to take part in this workshop.

Prof. Lingaraj told SOM that the workshop will be providing an insight on the admission process, scholarships, research assistantship and other information related to higher education at Alabama University.
