The case of Nursee Monjee Institute of Management Studies deemed to be University's Sunandan Divatia School of Science is indeed very interesting and peculiar. This school has stated in its prospectus that it will not declare the vacancies in each of the two B.Sc courses in advance but they will do so only at the time of acceptance of registration by the students. Not only this but they have further stated that if for any reason registrations for any course are less than 30 then they reserve the right to cancel that course altogether. Because of this unique and peculiar stance of the unit School knowing the position of previous years is not of much value. However just for the record, in the previous year, they declared the vacancies of 120 and 60 for the two BSc courses.
