PU admissions continue under strict document verification
Patna: Patna University (PU) colleges continued to admit students to their undergraduate academic programmes for the second consecutive day on Saturday, as per the first merit list released by the university. The admissions from the first merit list will conclude on Monday. PU students' welfare dean Anil Kumar told this newspaper that admissions are being made under the tight scrutiny of the members of the respective college admission committees. "All the candidates are being directed to furnish at least three separate undertakings at the time of securing their admission to a college. By seeking these undertakings from students, the university wants to ascertain that only genuine candidates are admitted on the production of genuine certificates and documents," he said. Students must submit an undertaking to the effect that the certificates and documents being submitted by them are genuine. If, on verification, any of the certificates is found to be 'forged', the provisional admission of the candidate will be cancelled. The candidates are also being asked to submit another undertaking stating that they will not engage in any unlawful activities on the campus at any time. If they are caught engaging in such activities, stern legal action will be taken against them. Additionally, they are being directed to furnish yet another undertaking to the effect that they will not involve themselves in ragging. "If they are found involved in any sort of ragging on the campus, they will be liable to punishments, including expulsion from the college or imprisonment as per the UGC rules," the dean said. As per PU admission rules, candidates selected for admission are going to the allotted college along with the allotment letter downloaded from the PU website ( and all the required documents and certificates for admission. "They have been informed that if they fail to report at the allotted centre on the given date and time, they will forfeit their claim for admission and the seat will be allotted to the candidate next in merit," Kumar said. The university has, however, provided for automatic upgradation (sliding up) of a candidate's rank in the merit list if some candidates figuring at the top do not turn up for their admission. "In that case, the admission of a candidate already secured in an institution or some subject will be cancelled and fresh admission will be made on the upgraded position," he added.
