MGU Admissions 2021: Mahatma Gandhi University is mulling to conduct the entrance test for MGU Admission 2021 to various postgraduate programmes offered by its various departments via virtual mode in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. MGU usually conducts these entrance exams in the offline mode at select centres in the country. Talking about MGU entrance exams, Sabu Thomas, Vice-Chancellor said, “However, we are now trying to see whether it can be held in the online proctored mode. They could appear for the test from their homes.” According to the authorities, the conduct of the online test would not create many logistical and technical hurdles as the admission is being held for a total of about 1,000 seats available under the various university departments.
Talking about MGU Admissions 2021, Professor Thomas further added, “Moreover, the best talents across the country would get a chance to appear for the entrance even amidst the pandemic situation. The varsity expects that the best of talents would enrol for the various academic programmes in the new academic year.” The varsity decided to conduct these exams via online mode after considering the overall pandemic scenario in the country. With the lockdown rules prevailing in many states, it was found that holding an offline test would be an uphill task.
It is expected that the ongoing novel coronavirus may also hit the number of students appearing for the offline mode. Several regions were also under partial lockdown and designated as containment zones making it difficult to hold an offline test. MGU is offering PG programmes through various Schools and centres.
