The Lakshadweep Administration had urged the university to relocate its B.Ed. centre located on the islands. A Syndicate sub-committee would visit the place to examine the issue. The newly launched postgraduate integrated courses in Bioscience, Chemistry, Physics, and Development Studies would begin this year itself. The Centres for Computer Science and Information Technology under the university in Thrissur, Wayanad, Perambra, and Palakkad would soon start the B.Sc. (IT) course.
