No more quota for PU grads in PG courses now

  • | Tuesday | 27th June, 2017

PATNA: Thanks to the recent amendments to the admission ordinance and examination regulations of postgraduation (PG) courses following the implementation of semester system, students graduating from Patna University (PU) colleges are unlikely to be admitted to the PG courses in PU this year. Only a few girl students passing from Patna Women's College are likely to be admitted along with boys and girls from outside PU. In absence of these vital documents, it is not possible for any head of the department to prepare the merit list for admission. On the contrary, students graduating from other universities are expected to predominate in PU departments.PU physics department head Rohit Raman pointed out that a majority of applicants figuring in the list of candidates selected for admission in MSc (physics) are from outside PU as they have high marks. He apprehended that lack of such vital documents may delay the process of admission, causing great inconvenience to the admission seekers as well as the faculty of the department.

PATNA: Thanks to the recent amendments to the admission ordinance and examination regulations of postgraduation (PG) courses following the implementation of semester system, students graduating from Patna University (PU) colleges are unlikely to be admitted to the PG courses in PU this year. The provision of reserving 80% seats in PG courses for students passing PU degree examinations, which was in vogue for the last 50 years or even more, has been done away with.Expressing concern over the omission of the vital institutional reservation in the ratio of 80:20 for PU and other universities, PU academics bemoaned that most of the PU students who have applied for admission in the university would be forced to seek admission elsewhere. On the contrary, students graduating from other universities are expected to predominate in PU departments.PU physics department head Rohit Raman pointed out that a majority of applicants figuring in the list of candidates selected for admission in MSc (physics) are from outside PU as they have high marks. Only a few girl students passing from Patna Women's College are likely to be admitted along with boys and girls from outside PU. It would indeed be ridiculous to find that students studying physics (Honours) in the same building of Patna Science College where PG physics department of PU is located would have to move outside the university to do their postgraduation, they said, demanding immediate revival of the institutional reservation for PU students as was being practised for the last five to six decades.Meanwhile, PU senator and English department head Shiv Jatan Thakur has drawn the attention of the university authorities towards some serious anomalies in the process of online admission system initiated by PU this year and demanded immediate removal of these shortcomings with a view to facilitating smooth admission in PG courses.In a letter to the PU registrar, Thakur pointed out that the columns of online application form lacks vital documentary information needed for admission on merit. For instance, the columns do not provide space for exact marks in graduation, college leaving certificate, marksheet, high school certificate for age verification and caste certificate from the competent authority. In absence of these vital documents, it is not possible for any head of the department to prepare the merit list for admission. He apprehended that lack of such vital documents may delay the process of admission, causing great inconvenience to the admission seekers as well as the faculty of the department.
