Allegations of ineligible students gaining admission to postgraduate courses
The Vice Chancellor in charge of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, has sought an immediate report on allegations that ineligible students were admitted to postgraduate (PG) programmes of the varsity in the new academic year.
Calicut University Vice Chancellor M.K. Jayaraj, who is holding charge of the Sanskrit varsity, said on Saturday that those responsible for admissions to PG courses on the main and regional campuses should submit a report clarifying whether ineligible students had gained admission to the programmes.
The move came a day after allegations emerged that nearly 30 students who had failed to clear the qualifying exam were admitted to PG courses. The candidates had reportedly failed to clear the final semester (sixth) exam. It was also alleged that a re-examination was held to help them pursue higher studies.
