With a commitment to excellence in education and passion to make a difference to students’ learning, UoM Vice-Chancellor Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar has been leading transformative changes and one such is to transform the career support services provided to students, alumni of the University and all its 220 affiliate Colleges and to better equip them for jobs or to start their own ventures.
