Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) has announced that its regional centre in Navanagar, Hubballi-Dharwad, will operate on public holidays to streamline the admission process for the upcoming 2026-27 academic year.
The decision addresses a persistent challenge faced by distance learning institutions: enabling working students, employed professionals, and others with scheduling constraints to complete necessary admission formalities without taking leave from their workplaces.
By extending operations beyond standard working hours, the centre aims to broaden access to enrollment services and reduce barriers to admission. The move reflects growing recognition among open universities of the need for flexible administrative processes to serve their diverse student base.
Students seeking admission to KSOU programmes can now utilise the extended availability to submit required documentation, complete registration procedures, and resolve admission-related queries. Further details regarding specific holidays when the centre will remain open are expected from the university administration.
