Manipal Institute of Management (MIM), Manipal University, will introduce dual specialisation option for students from the next academic year.

Quoting R. Venugopal, Director of MIM, a press release by the university said here on Saturday that this has been done by pruning class contact hours per subject, emphasising on self-learning, and adding new subjects to the list of electives on offer. The revamped curriculum will offer students the option to specialise in two areas, he said.

MIM had been offering specialisations in any one of the five areas – Marketing, Finance, Human Resources Management, Operations and Healthcare. Students were required to pursue eight elective courses with at least six of them in their chosen area of specialisation.

From 2013, the students will pursue 13 elective courses and can obtain a concentration in an area of specialisation by opting for at least five electives.

"They would thus have the option of dual specialisation such as Marketing and Finance, HR and Marketing, etc. The revised structure also offers several new electives such as Competency Mapping, Talent Management, Commercial Banking," he added.

Manipal University will introduce 12 new courses in the forthcoming academic year. At present the varsity is offering 320 courses in 18 streams.

GK Prabhu, registrar of Manipal University, said here on Monday that the university would conduct online entrance tests (OET) for all its courses, including MBBS, BTech and BPharm from April 15 to May 15, 2013. The number of test centres has been increased from 30 to 50 this year, he added.

"There is no clarity in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to medical courses introduced by the Union government. As a result several deemed universities have moved court. We have also moved court against NEET and if the Supreme Court directs us to admit students through NEET, we will do that. However, we will conduct the online entrance tests as per the schedule," he added.

This year, the university has added a new feature to the entrance test. The candidates will be allowed to take a second test, if they are not satisfied with their performance in the first attempt. "The better score will be considered for the merit list," he said.

He also said that even though there is a need for more nurses in the country, there is a decline in the demand for nursing courses. To encourage more students to take up the course, the university has introduced scholarships for nursing students.

"Candidates who have scored above 80% in their 12th standard exam and whose parents' family income is below 12.5 lakh are eligible for the scholarship," he added.

The university has also increased the funds set aside for scholarships from Rs 18.13 crore to Rs 25.01 crore. "There is also a 10 percentage tuition fee waiver in all course for Konkani speaking students," he said.

A few seats in all the courses are reserved for schools and colleges of Academy of General Education. Some of the scholarships offered are Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) scholarship for qualified students, All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) scholarship, merit-cum-means scholarship.

Manipal University and Manipal Hemophilia Society will jointly launch the project 'IDEEA' (Identification, Diagnosis, Education and Empowerment for Action) and distribution of higher education scholarships for students with bleeding disorders in South India.

Dr Annamma Kurien, President of Manipal Chapter of Haemophilia Society said the launch be held at Shirdi Saibaba Cancer hospital and research centre in Kasturba Hospital Campus, Manipal on August 28 at 3 pm. IDEEA is supported by the grant from Novo Nordisk Hemophilia Foundation (NNHF), Switzerland.

Through this project the accredited social health activist (ASHA) will get the training to identify the suspected persons with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders in the community. The suspected people with bleeding disorders will undergo detailed tests in Kasturba Hospital, Manipal for the accurate diagnosis and the sub typing of bleeding disorders. A specialized hemostasis and thrombosis division, Kasturba Hospital, is being set up also supported by the Manipal University. Patients from the 4 districts of Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Shimoga and Chikmagalur with suspected bleeding disorders will get facilities for free testing.

This project will also aim to empower persons with hemophilia by education to improve their quality of life. As a part of empowerment, a scholarship distribution for the student with hemophilia to support their higher education will also take place during the function. This scholarship is sponsored by Save One Life (SOL) organization, USA. This year eight students are selected for the scholarship. Hemophilia is a genetic, life threatening bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot normally due to the deficiency or absence of clotting factors.

The Manipal Hemophilia Society, a registered chapter of Hemophilia Federation of India (HFI), affiliated to World Federation of Hemophilia, Canada (WFH) started its functioning in the year 1999 in Kasturba Hospital Manipal. It provides comprehensive medical services to the patients, who are suffering from hemophilia and related bleeding disorders. More than 250 patients from various districts of both Karnataka and Kerala are registered under Manipal Hemophilia society. It conducts regular hemophilia clinic once a month on every second Saturday for the persons with hemophilia, where a team of medical and allied health science professionals from various specialties trained in hemophilia care are available for the proper care and management.

The Society also provides anti hemophilic factor (AHF), a costly life saving medicine at an affordable rate to the persons with hemophilia. The support of Manipal University has sustained the care of hemophilia patients.
