Calcutta University is set to extend the\n deadline for admission to undergraduate courses in colleges because of \nthe delay in the publication of the joint entrance examination (JEE) \nresults, a university official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CU had set July 6 as the deadline for admission to undergraduate courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The JEE results this year are likely to be published on July 2. Last year, the results were declared on May 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\n engineering entrance exams are usually held in the third week of April.\n This year they were held on May 26, after the Lok Sabha elections were \nover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnce the JEE results are out, a large chunk of students who\n will have been enrolled by our affiliated colleges will make a beeline \nfor joining BTech courses,\u201d the CU official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe fear the \nproblem will be severe this year because the JEE results will be \npublished much later than usual. We have to extend the last date of \nadmission. The revised deadline is yet to be decided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about\n the possibility of pushing back the admission deadline, vice-chancellor\n Sonali Chakravarti Banerjee said: \u201cLet the principals approach us about\n the need for extending the deadline. If such an appeal comes, the \nsyndicate can discuss the issue and take a <\/p>\n\n\n\n
decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After\n the JEE results are declared, the JEE board starts e-counselling for \nadmission to the BTech courses. The counselling is held over several \nrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe vacancy count will keep rising as the counselling proceeds,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The college principals The Telegraph<\/strong> spoke to are worried over how they would prepare students who would take admission in the second phase for the semester exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\n university had last year rolled out the choice-based credit system, \nwhich functions in conjunction with the semester system, in BA and BSc \ncourses. The system was introduced in BCom in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exams are held every six-month in CBCS, unlike the annual system in which they are held once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClasses\n will start in full swing from the first day. Otherwise, students will \nfind it difficult to write the first semester exams in December. It will\n be tough for the students who will join the courses late to prepare for\n the semester exams,\u201d the principal of a central Calcutta college said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At\n a meeting presided over by education minister Partha Chatterjee on May \n20, several principals had spoken about the possible impact of the late \nannouncement of the JEE results on the college admission roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe\n minister said seats could not be kept vacant under any circumstance. \nThat leaves CU with no option but to extend the admission deadline. But \nwe are worried over how the students who will join the courses late will\n cope up,\u201d the principal of a south Calcutta college said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CU \ncould ask the principals to hold additional classes for students who \nwill be admitted in the second phase, the university official said. \nVice-chancellor Sonali Chakravarti Banerjee, however, was non-committal \non the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: thetelegram.com Calcutta University is set to extend the deadline for admission to undergraduate courses in colleges because of the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[352,347,141],"tags":[475,530,528,525,529,474,527,472,526,531,470],"class_list":["post-389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jee","category-university","category-university-updates","tag-admission","tag-bcom","tag-btech","tag-calcutta","tag-cbcs","tag-counselling","tag-exam","tag-jee","tag-principals","tag-published","tag-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":408,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389\/revisions\/408"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
