Commenting on the spurt in applications this year, Prof. Appa Rao Podile, Vice Chancellor, UoH said, “It’s gratifying to note that UoH is a preferred destination for students to pursue higher education and research. Not only have the number of applications within India increased, but the number of foreign students applying has also gone up more than 20% this year. The Institution of Eminence tag has certainly helped the UoH in creating a positive image among the student community who want to be part of the institution. The University will ensure that affordable education is made available at global standards.”
Of the total number of applications, about 60% are from students belonging to SC, ST, OBC communities, reflecting the perception of the University not only as a centre of excellence, but also as an inclusive space for all.
