Gujarat University admissions: 996 students forget to ‘submit’ forms online

AHMEDABAD: As Gujarat University declared its provisional merit list for five disciplines, including commerce, it came to the university authorities’ notice that 996 students forgot to click on the ‘submit’ button after registering themselves for admission.

The university officials said that these 996 students could not be included in the provisional merit list of 35,207 students because of an apparent error on their part in submitting admission forms online.
Moreover, there are 311 students identified who failed to supply complete documents and hence their admission forms were treated as incomplete. They too did not figure in the provisional merit list that was declared on Saturday. However, their forms have been kept in the pending admission category and once they supply requisite documents, their names will be included in the list.

After declaration of provisional merit list, the university has granted two days’ time to those students, whose name did not figure in the list, to make appropriate representations. In last two days, the admission committee received complaints and among them, nearly 1,000 students said that they forgot to push the ‘submit’ button after filling admission forms.
