Admission for students in other colleges

TIRUCHI: Bharathidasan University has decided to facilitate admission of 62 MCA students of Nehru Memorial College (NMC) at Puthanampatti in other colleges where vacancies exist against the sanctioned strength for the programme.

These students, who were admitted in excess at the NMC under the provision of the University’s Concurrent Programme coordinated by the Centre for Distance Education, demanded that they be treated as regular students and boycotted the semester examinations. Vice-Chancellor M. Ponnavaikko emphasised categorically that students admitted under the Concurrent Provision would necessarily be governed by the distance education norms.

The university was under the impression that the college had offered MCA for the excess students as a concurrent programme, he said. The university was, at the outset, open to the college’s idea of exercising the provision since it would mean an addition to the strength of distance education candidates.

Since they had undergone the programme for enough duration of contact classes, the university had permitted them to appear for its semester examination meant for regular students.

Having boycotted the examinations, the students would now be provided with the option of appearing for the examination slated for next month for distance education students.

The credits they obtained in the exam would be transferred to the regular MCA programme that they take up in other colleges.
