KOLKATA: It’s a tough fight and often, a tie-breaker. A close competition for seats have begun at Jadavpur University, which has published the merit lists for its undergraduate courses in arts and science faculties. The university has put up separate lists for candidates passing out of schools affiliated to different boards, like the state board, CBSE and CISCE.
In physics, eight HS students are tied at score 399, while names of 20 candidates have appeared, all of whom have scored 397. For English, 14 HS students are ranked between 96 and 97. In chemistry, 15 students from other boards have scored 790 to 800, while among the HS competitors, 36 have scored between 791 and 800.
The university has also published the names of wait-listed candidates in all the subjects who will get a chance only if the seats remain vacant after the first cycle of admission.
“The university usually conducts admission tests and personal interviews before admitting students to UG courses, but this year, no entrance exam was held. Admissions are being conducted only on the basis of the candidates’ scores. Apart from their Plus-II scores, different formulae have been adopted by the departments, some of whom have also factored in marks from Class X boards,” said an official of the university.
The online payment system for admission will be activated at 6pm on September 10. Students will have to take admission by September 12. “Selected candidates will have to upload the copies of their certificates and documents, the originals of which will be checked once physical verification is possible. Any discrepancy will lead to cancellation of admission,” said the official.
