Patna University Admissions 2021: Over 20,000 students register for UG courses
The varsity said 34,580 students initially registered for Patna University Admissions 2021 for UG courses but only 20,855 filled up the form successfully and made payments.
Patna University Admission 2021: Patna University (PU) has received over 20,000 applications for undergraduate (UG) regular and self-finance courses. Patna University Admission 2021 online registration process ended on August 31, 2021.
The varsity said 34,580 students initially registered for Patna University Admissions 2021 for UG courses but only 20,855 filled up the form successfully and made payments. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Patna University will not be conducting any entrance exam this year.
“Merit list is likely to be published by September 3. As there is no entrance exam this year, the merit list will be prepared on the basis of marks obtained by applicants in class 12. The centralized counselling process will take place with the help of the university management information system (UMIS),” Anil Kumar, Dean of students’ welfare, said.
Kumar said UMIS will help students modify their preferences in case of the unavailability of seats in their preferred courses and colleges. The UMIS system will facilitate admissions in varsity’s constituent colleges including Magadh Mahila College, Patna Science College, Patna Law College, Vanijya Mahavidyalaya, etc.
Many students are disappointed because of the scrapping of the entrance exams and admission to be on the basis of the average scores in the board examinations.
One of the students who has applied for BCA, told a media house, “I have scored 68 % in Class 12. There are limited seats in vocational courses. State board students have fetched a lower percentage than CBSE students. In the absence of an entrance exam, students with high percentages will be advantaged. Apparently, students with less than 75% marks will find it difficult to get into sought-after courses and colleges.”
Patna University is yet to announced the details for postgraduate admissions.
“Final exams of third-year students are going on. After completion of their exams, PG admission dates will be announced,” a varsity official said.
