Karnataka Pauses New Private PU Colleges for Three Years
Karnataka has placed a three-year pause on permission for new private pre-university colleges. The state says the decision follows a rise in the number of PU seats each year, which is now growing faster than the number of students passing the SSLC exam. The move limits where new private colleges can open.
Context
Context: PU, or pre-university, is the two-year college stage after Class 10 in Karnataka, and SSLC is the state's Class 10 board exam. Seats at this level are growing each year, so the state is slowing new private openings to match seats with students.
