BELGAUM: The counselling for admission to MBA course, which was scheduled to begin on Monday, has been postponed to July 18 due to non-availability of qualifying examination marks in time from some universities. The time to receive the attested marks cards of the qualifying examination of the candidates at the PGCET Cell, Belgaum, has been extended till July 14.

Thus, the provisional rank list of MBA and MCA declared on July 6 has been withdrawn. The final rank list will be declared on July16. The counselling schedule will be announced for MBA and MCA along with the declaration of final rank list. For details, visit www.vtu.ac.in, says a release by M.S.

Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest in front of the BMS College of Engineering here against the delay in announcement of results of BA and B.Com final year examinations by Bangalore University.

The students said they could not appear for the PGCET counselling for admission to MBA and MCA courses because of the delayed results. The protest was held while the Minister for Higher Education, D. Manjunath, was launching the PGCET counselling through videoconference. Next year's CET counselling for undergraduate courses will also be online, the Minister announced. The videoconferencing is being held simultaneously at five places across the State. The centres are Poojya Doddappa Appa College of Engineering in Gulbarga; Bapuji Institute of Technology and Engineering, Davangere; St. Joseph's Engineering College, Mangalore, and Vivsvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, besides BMS College here.

The online counselling is scheduled to go on till July 19. Candidates with ranks 1 to 334 can attend counselling, according to the revised schedule.

The VTU awarded prizes to Iqbal Hussain Khan (Mysore), Shyam Murali R., and Deepak S. of Belgaum, the first three rank-holders.

Mr. Manjunath said he was happy to find a large number of candidates from outside the State coming to Bangalore, an evidence of the high academic standards in Karnataka.
