  1. Prof Govinda says:

    Wonderful. It looks like Physics vs. Physics.
    Either way, let the almighty bless both.
    Computer is also peeping through.
    But, what happened to Psychology?

  2. Prof. Basappa says:

    So, it is 52–57–62.
    Who will be appointed? Cross your fingers.

  3. Rangaswamy says:

    I strongly feel Prof. N.K. Lokanath of Physics Dept (Director–PMEB)
    will be appointed today, because of his qualifications, publications and merit.
    NKL was the PhD student of former VC Shashidharaprasad.
    Goodluck to NKL.

    What happened to the case filed by the acting VC in the HighCcourt?
    All the three have no experience of managing a large orgnisation. Anathamurthy’s son again appears.
    What a farce! The UOM is really a dump.

    @ Lunchave Swarga,Mosave Kailasa , Modiye Shiva

    Case filed by the former acting VC Rajashekhar was dismissed.
    I wonder how the name of Venkateshkumar (SC) only was removed in the second panel.
    Why the name of NK Lokanath did not appear in the first panel.
    God only should help Univ of Mysore !!!
    Jai GURULOKASHARA

  7. Prof Ramanna says:

    New VC to UOM. God bless all.
    Happy Ugadi.
    Is it Loka Or Guru or Shar ??

  8. Dr Siddalingu says:

    Cheers to Lokanath !!
