JAIPUR: Rajasthan University on Wednesday passed a budget of Rs 317 crore at the syndicate meeting after a delay of six months.
Due to the absence of a syndicate meeting because of pandemic, the university was functioning with financial sanction by the governor. It was revealed at the meeting that the university was running at a loss of about Rs 157 crore.
The decisions taken by the academic council for MPAT examination (for admission of PhD students) were also passed at the meeting and now it is expected that exams will be held soon. The university will give a certificate for research to students doing PhD as per the rules of UGC.
Apart from this, it was decided to send the recommendations of six research associate teachers of the university who were still waiting for their promotion to the government. As soon as the permission of the government is received, the university will give the benefit of promotion to all these teachers.
Vice chancellor Rajeev Jain said, “Losses are because the strength of students has decreased but liabilities are same. Earlier, Jaipur, Dausa, Sikar, Bharatpur and Alwar colleges were under Rajasthan University with 11 lakh students. Now, only Jaipur and Dausa colleges are under university’s jurisdiction with 6.5 lakh students.”
