Patna University to begin classes for first-year students from February 8 onwards

Patna University has recently completed the admission process for the undergraduate courses (UG) for the academic session 2020-21.

Patna University (PU) is all set to resume classes for the new batch from February 8 onwards. Patna University has recently completed the admission process for the undergraduate courses (UG) for the academic session 2020-21. Since the academic session is already late due to a coronavirus outbreak, the initial classes will be taken online, however, the varsity is also planning to conduct offline classes from this month, the varsity administrator said. 

“Over 2,500 students have been enrolled in UG science, commerce and art stream in various constituent colleges while around 1,000 have been admitted to vocational courses. Few seats are lying vacant in various departments. We are in the process to fill those seats through the casual vacancy process by removing quota reservation,” said a PU official.

Meanwhile, several students who have taken admission recently have said that the PU had failed them due to the slow admission process. Deepak Kumar, who has taken admission in BSc, said, “Usually, students fill examination forms by this time but we have not even attended our first class. We are running late which will stretch the duration of the course.”

“All constituent colleges will commence online classes from February 8. We are also trying to get permission from the state education department to resume offline classes. Students will be allotted hostels this month,” said NK Jha, dean of students’ welfare.

Meanwhile, the examination department said they are gearing up to hold the final examination for degree part III students in April to prevent further delay.
