Patna Women’s College announces details of entrance tests, admissions

PATNA: Even as most degree colleges in the state are yet to decide the modalities of admitting students to their various courses in view of the Covid pandemic, Patna Women’s College (PWC) has already come up with the details of admission for the new academic session (2021-22).
College principal Sister M Rashmi said the entrance tests would be held online and admissions are to be made in offline mode.
The college would organise mock tests before the actual entrance test just to familiarise the admission seekers with the procedure of the online test, she said.
The entrance tests for admission to the BCom Honours, BSc Honours and BA Honours courses shall be held on July 29, 30 and 31 respectively and their results would be published on August 2, 3 and 7 respectively. While the admission of students selected for BCom and BSc shall be held on August 9 and 10 respectively, students selected for the BA courses shall be admitted on August 13 and 14.
She further pointed out that the entrance tests for admissions in computer applications, advertising and sales management, communicative English and media studies, mass communications, microbiology and bachelor administration would be held online between July 19 and 28. The results of all these professional courses shall be announced by July 31 and the admission of selected students would be held on August 2 and 6.
The college also runs credit-based career-oriented add-on courses in six subjects, including human resource management, risk and insurance management, public relations, stress management, applied yoga and textile ornamentation and home fashion. Besides, credit-based add-on certificate courses in 17 subjects, including 3D animation, Android App development, web designing, and French, German and Korean languages are also run by the college, Rashmi said.
The only autonomous college of the state happens to be the only institution under Patna University to introduce semester system and choice-based credit system (CBCS) at the undergraduate level.
The principal, however, expressed her concern at the inordinate delay in conducting examinations owing to the restrictions imposed by the state government. The syllabi of all the six semesters have been completed long back, but the final examinations are held up. Consequently, a number of college girls would miss the opportunities of pursuing higher studies or jobs in India and abroad, she added.
