Patna University Admissions 2021 for degree courses to begin soon

Talking about the conduct of online classes with the reopening of the University after summer vacation, the VC added that the shortage of teachers in different subjects has been hampering the smooth conduct of classes.

Patna University Admissions 2021: Patna University (PU) is expected to commence the online admission process for the three-year degree courses in its different colleges soon. Reports suggest that PU admission 2021 work would be expedited through the university management information system (UMIS). Talking about the admission of students to Patna University without entrance exam amid the ongoing pandemic situation, PU vice-chancellor Girish Kumar Chaudhary said, “For the last several years, PU colleges had been admitting students to all the undergraduate courses on the basis of centralised faculty-wise entrance tests as per the admission ordinance. But, owing to the Covid pandemic, it would not be feasible to conduct the entrance tests this time. Hence, a necessary amendment would have to be made in the ordinance for doing away with the entrance tests for a year through some transitory regulation.” Girish Kumar Chaudhary further added that PU Admissions 2021 process will commence for eligible candidates for admission to both the conventional as well as self-financing courses as soon as permission is received from the chancellor’s office.

“Candidates will have to indicate their preferences of subjects and colleges in their applications and the admission would be made on merit-cum-choice basis. There would also be a provision of automatic upgradation in the selection list in case of some vacancies and a student allotted a seat in B N College may be asked to get himself admitted in Patna Science College if his position on the merit list is upgraded,” he added.

Talking about the conduct of online classes with the reopening of the University after summer vacation, the VC added that the shortage of teachers in different subjects has been hampering the smooth conduct of classes. “The services of more than 90 guest faculty were terminated before the commencement of summer vacation from May 1 and their reinstatement could be done only after appraisal by the university selection committee,” he added. “PU has already sought an appraisal report of individual teachers working as guest faculty in different subjects and the subject-wise selection committees will assess the performance of teachers from June 11. Services of teachers whose performance is found satisfactory will be renewed for another 11 months,” the VC said.
