The Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) University (PRSU) has made important changes in its admission policy to enhance their academic ranking.
Foremost among its decisions is that from the coming academic session (2023-24), there will be centralised admission for all professional courses being run either by the university’s main campus or by its affiliated colleges. This includes both undergraduate and post-graduate courses, informed university officials.
The online application process for the same will start from next month, they added.
From the coming academic session, this state university is all set to start several new professional courses including five-year Integrated LLB course, BCA and MCA, besides continuing with the existing professional courses like BEd and MEd.
“Although we are still mulling over the admission guidelines that would be followed in this coming academic session, but this is for sure that the minimum eligibility criterion, in terms of marks obtained in intermediate (for admission in UG courses) and in undergraduate course (for admission in PG courses), will not be less than the one followed last year,” said prof Akhilesh Singh, vice-chancellor of the university.
As per last year’s guideline, which has been approved by the academic council (AC) and the executive council (EC) of the university, for admission to UG courses, general and OBC candidates must have scored a minimum of 40% marks in intermediate. Students with less marks will not get admission in any college of the university. Likewise, SC/ST candidates must have scored 35% or more marks in Intermediate.
On the other hand, for admission to PG courses, students should have attained a minimum set marks’ criterion in graduation. For admission in professional courses, scoring 50% marks is mandatory for general and OBC candidates and 45% for SC/ST candidates.
