The University of Mysore has been given ‘A’ Grade by the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) in the 4th cycle. The accreditation is valid for a period of five years from September 20, 2021.
Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar told The Hindu the University had expected a higher grade of A-Plus.
“The University could have gotten a better grade if the teacher-studio ratio was improved and more research works were carried out by the faculty. As many as 400 teaching posts are vacant and remain unfilled for many years. The dearth of faculty affected the ratio though the university has well established infrastructure and facilities. If we had the required number of teaching posts, we could have improved in the grade,” he felt.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
