The idea of Bangalore University students being issued smart cards doesn’t seem to be going over too well with many university officials, according to an industry news report.
The proposed idea, which was discussed during a recent university meeting, was vetoed by more than half of the varsity officials and syndicate members.
Syndicate members claim that funds should go to things, such as improving the university’s drink water and improving facilities, not smart cards.
