PATNA: Patna University (PU) is to start the undergraduate offline classes from the first week of October as admissions to the first year of degree courses are likely to be completed by the end of this month, vice-chancellor Girish Kumar Choudhary told the newspaper.
PU would hold induction programmes before starting formal classes to apprise the students with the rules and regulations and also the facilities available on the campus.Classes would start well before the commencement of Durga Puja holidays, he said.
There are altogether 4000 seats for undergraduate students in different colleges of PU.
As many as 652 students out of 2500 admitted so far have opted for upgradation (revision) of their choice of subjects or institutions. Their list would be included in the second allotment of subjects and institutions to be announced on September 21.
Referring to the demand of some student organisations regarding reservation of seats in undergraduate courses for students passing class XII examination from the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), the VC said such provision does not exist in the PU admission ordinances. Moreover, about one-third of the students admitted so far are from the BSEB.
