No admissions before SSLC exams, says DPUE

A majority of colleges, particularly integrated PU colleges, have already admitted students based on their class nine marks and online exam scores of class 10

Several pre-university (PU) colleges in Karnataka that have started the admission process may find themselves running afoul of the education department. The Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE), on Wednesday, announced that strict action will be initiated against colleges that are admitting students in first year PU. DPUE Director R. Snehal, in a circular, said that managements who admit students before SSLC examination is conducted and before the department announces the new academic calendar will be at risk of losing their affiliation. The circular also stated that colleges cannot begin online classes till the academic calendar is chalked out. A majority of the colleges, particularly integrated PU colleges, have already admitted students based on their class nine examination marks and online exam scores of class 10.
