Patna University extends deadline for submitting forms

PATNA: In view of the exponential rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in the state and the floods in north Bihar, Patna University (PU) has extended the last date for submission of online applications for admission to different undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programmes.
A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting held under the chairmanship of vice-chancellor H N Prasad on Thursday. The deadline for submission of applications for UG courses is August 31 and that for PG and diploma programmes is September 21.
“All the entrance tests for admission to regular and self-financing courses both at the UG and PG levels have also been postponed. The fresh dates will be announced shortly,” PU students’ welfare dean N K Jha told this newspaper.
Earlier, August 14 was the last date for submission of online applications for admission to all the UG and PG courses.
However, Patna Women’s College, a constituent college of PU, has decided to conduct online entrance tests from August 14 to September 16.
