Hundreds of students in five districts have been forced to wait for a year for admissions to undergraduate courses, with the Calicut University authorities not extending the last date for application
Hundreds of students in five districts have been forced to wait for a year for admissions to undergraduate courses, with the Calicut University authorities not extending the last date for application for courses offered by the School of Distance Education (SDE).
According to functionaries of the Parallel College Association, the last date for admissions to regular undergraduate and postgraduate courses in affiliated colleges, with a fine, was December 14. The university closed the admissions to distance education courses the next day itself.
A.G. Rajeevan, secretary of the association, said on Sunday that normally the university gave another chance to students to apply for SDE courses with a “super fine”. It did not happen this time. This led to many students in Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, Thrissur, and Wayanad districts being unable to secure admissions to degree courses.
