PATNA: With the last date for online submission of applications for admission to postgraduate (PG) courses of Patna University (PU) ending on Thursday, the process of department-wise admissions is likely to begin soon.
The subject-wise merit list will be prepared by the university and sent to all the departments which will admit students after physical verification of their documents. “PU will, however, conduct a centralized counselling of admission seekers in subjects that are taught at more than one centre,” students’ welfare dean N K Jha told this newspaper on Thursday and added that the counselling would be done at the Wheeler Senate House.
Meanwhile, centralized admissions to the undergraduate (UG) courses in different colleges of PU have also ended. “A few seats under reserved categories could not be filled during the counselling. Hence, PU has instructed the colleges to admit students from the general category,” said Jha.
However, the university has not yet decided the date of commencement of classes of the newly admitted students in UG and PG courses and is waiting for fresh instructions from the state government. Offline classes of Degree Part III and PG semester III students started on January 4.
Jha said, “Depending on the decision of the education department, classes of the newly admitted students will begin after January 18.”
