Lucknow University fails to follow academic calendar

LUCKNOW: Lucknow University has failed to follow its own academic calendar declared on September 24.

The university had scheduled to begin classes of the first semester from October 4 in its calendar, but it is yet to start classes for BA and BSc at the undergraduate level. The document verification of BA and BSc students was done on Saturday, but no information about resumption of classes was communicated.

Meanwhile, the admission process of PG students is still on with candidates in various courses asked to lock seats and submit fees in the first round of the online counselling.

“We were given the student copy of admission after the document verification, but no information was given about the resumption of classes, When I visited the department to ask when my classes will resume I was told to check the timetable of the three subjects I opted in BA on the departments’ notice boards,” said a BA candidate Atharva Maurya.

He added that what is the point of online counselling when for getting information about classes students are compelled to visit the campus daily.

LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava said, “Deans have convened a meeting for the conduct of classes. BA and BSc classes will begin from Wednesday. Classes of other UG courses are being held daily.”
