# KKHSOU launches NET/SLET counselling programme for aspirants 2026-10-02T14:21:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University (KKHSOU) launched a special online counselling programme on Friday, 2 October 2026, for NET/SLET aspirants among its learners in the Discipline of Education. The programme, a first among State Open Universities in the region, targets learners from ST/SC/OBC/MOBC and other Economically Backward categories. The inaugural meeting was held online and featured the Vice Chancellor, Registrar, faculty members, and registered aspirant learners. ## Indian Opinion Analysis KKHSOU's new counselling programme addresses a gap in support for distance learners from reserved and economically backward categories who aspire to clear competitive exams. The initiative formalises mentoring that previously happened informally, as the university notes several learners have already qualified NET, SLET, TET, ADRE and APSC in recent years. The programme's success will depend on its ability to scale, as the Director of Surya Kumar Bhuyan School of Social Sciences suggested gradually including all disciplines and creating a tracking system to monitor applicant outcomes and gather feedback. ## Coverage - sentinelassam.com Straight news agency-style reporting, no evaluative language.
