Staff Reporter

PONDICHERRY: The Pondicherry University has relaxed the eligibility criteria for admission to B.Tech courses in the government Pondicherry Engineering College (PEC) and privately managed colleges in the Union Territory in 2005-2006.

The Development Commissioner cum Secretary to Education, B.V.Selvaraj, said in a release here on Friday that the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) earlier informed in its information bulletin that the eligibility was 50 per cent of the aggregate marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry subjects in the Higher Secondary or equivalent examinations. This was in keeping with the guidelines of the university. Now it was 40 per cent of the aggregate marks in these subjects in the HSC or equivalent examinations. This was aimed at enabling better competition for admission and optimum utilisation of sanctioned seats in the courses. The purpose was also to give relief to students hailing from tsunami-hit areas.
