KOLKATA: The ratio of home university students and that from other universities for postgraduate courses would be 80:20 this year like last session, stated a higher education department notification. If seats remain vacant, students from “outside” universities can be admitted.
Applications will start on September 1 and classes will start by the last week of October. In this online process, students will not have to be physically present for counselling or verification of their documents. “Applicants will have to upload all the testimonials and documents on the admission portals,” said the principal of a college, offering PG courses in several subjects.
“Earlier, 60% seats were reserved for home university students, but the share was changed to 80% last year, given the pandemic,” said the principal. Last year, several protests were staged against the higher share for home university students, which many felt, would lower the chances of other students of taking admissions to Presidency and JU.
