No entrance test at Lucknow University for 22 courses

Candidates applying to MA in mathematics or Anthropology at Lucknow University can now secure their seat without having to appear for the entrance test. The University will not be conducting an entrance test for these courses as they total number of seats exceeds the total applications received by the University. Furthermore, there are about 26 courses in which the number of applications is less than the seats offered, hence candidates who have applied to the courses are sure to get a seat. 

The total applications received in seven out of these 26 courses are in single digit. In the other 21 courses, the number of applications is less than or equal to 20. According to the data released by the University, 13,732 applications were received for 68 courses that have around 4,386 seats. The highest number of applications received was 2,418, and was for law. The next to follow was Commerce which received 1,440 applications and LLM that received 1,057 applications. 

Courses that have received fewer applications are:

  • MA (Mathematics)
  • MA (Ancient Indian History)
  • MA (Anthropolgy)
  • MA (Modern Arabic)
  • MA (Arab Culture)
  • MA (Persian)
  • MA (Arabic)
  • MA (Population Education and RD)
  • MA (Biostatistics)
  • MA (Sanskrit)
  • MA (Urdu)
  • MA (Business Economics)
  • MA (Western History)
  • MA (Women Studies)
  • MA (Composite History)
  • MA (Forensic Sciences)
  • MA (Criminology and Criminal Justice Administration)
  • MA (Public Policy)
  • MA (Defense Studies)
  • MA (French)
  • MA (Jyotir Vigyan)
  • MA (Linguistics)
  • Aacharya
  • MSc (Biostatistics)
  • MSc (Mass Communication in Science and Technology)
  • MSc (Total Quality of Management)

Prof Anil Mishra, the admission coordinator of LU said to a leading daily, "We have decided not to hold entrance test in 22 courses where applications are fewer than the number of seats. Entrance tests will be held in 45 courses while MA in public policy course is being closed." 

Further, it has been reported that the regular courses will be run despite the poor demand, but the courses running in self-finance category may be suspended. According to the university rulebook, a self-finance course receiving less than 40% applications will be suspended for that year.
