12 Oct
Summary
- Profcon calls for national-level unification of admission procedures
- Conference urges authorities to address students' mental health concerns
- Profcon Award presented to NIT Calicut Gold Medalist Muhammad Ameen
The 29th Professional Students' Global Conference (Profcon), held in Mangaluru on October 8-10, 2025, has made several key demands to authorities. The conference, organized by the Wisdom Islamic Students' Organisation in association with the Karnataka Salafi Association, has called for the unification of admission procedures for professional courses at the national level.
The conference pointed out that the current multiple-phase admission process confuses students and causes prolonged delays. It has urged authorities to create a unified academic calendar and intervene urgently to find solutions, as admission procedures for courses like medicine are yet to be completed.
Profcon has also emphasized the need for authorities to address the growing concerns about students' mental health. The conference highlighted the alarming rise in suicide rates among students and the increasing influence of social media usage. It has called for measures similar to those implemented in seven countries, including Australia, which introduced complete bans on social media use for children under 16 and restrictions with parental consent for others.
On a positive note, the conference presented the Proflumina Award for Excellence to NIT Calicut Gold Medalist Muhammad Ameen. Hundreds of professional student representatives from across India and prestigious universities abroad participated in the event.
