Now, admission seekers can apply for admission to these courses on the PU admission portal till June 5, said PU students' welfare dean Anil Kumar.
He said that earlier the last date for submission of applications for undergraduate courses was May 31. But, the date has been extended on the demand of several students from north Bihar region who had not received their Class XII marksheets from the CBSE for some reasons. According to CBSE officials, the pending marksheets were likely to be released within two to three days, he said.
The PU has received about 9500 applications for admission against about 4500 sanctioned seats in arts, science and commerce streams (both under regular and self-financed streams).
The dean said that the first merit list of applicants selected for admission in different streams at PU's constituent colleges — Patna College, Patna Science College, Vanijya Mahavidyalaya, B N College and Magadh Mahila College is likely to be released on June 10.
The last date for admission to all undergraduate courses is June 26. Induction meet of all newly admitted students will be held on July 2 and the classes of new batches of students will commence from July 3, he added.

UP Board to run CBSE affiliated model schools in state
Prayagraj: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Government Model Schools, run by the secondary education department in English medium in all the 18 divisional headquarters districts of the state, will now be run by the UP Board. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Currently, all the 18 schools are run by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The Directorate of Education sent a proposal to the state govt to run these schools under the UP Board instead of CBSE. The reason behind this is that the secondary dducation department is unable to deploy teachers in model schools according to CBSE standards. Due to this, there is a problem of answering CBSE queries from time to time. Secondly, CBSE takes Rs 25,000 as a renewal fee from schools every five years. Being a govt school, the department does not have any budget for renewal fees. Sources inform that the UP Board has also implemented the curriculum of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). Hence, there is no difference left in the curriculum of CBSE and UP Board. In such a situation, now there is no justification for CBSE to run these model schools. At Prayagraj, there is one such English medium school which is in Dandupur, under Chaka block. In another significant step towards enhancing girls' education in the district, Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls' Schools will now offer education up to Class 12 for the first time starting this academic session. Out of the 20 Kasturba Gandhi schools in the district, nine have been upgraded to accommodate secondary and senior secondary education. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to district coordinator for girls' education, Santosh Tripathi, six of these upgraded schools—Bahariya, Kaundhiyara, Soraon, Shankargarh, Saidabad, and Bharatganj—are currently providing only hostel facilities. The enrolled students are being admitted to nearby govt or govt-aided secondary schools for their education. In a more comprehensive development, three schools—Meja, Dhanupur, and Kaudihar—are being equipped to provide both education and hostel facilities. Classes in Meja and Dhanupur will begin this year itself, while Kaudihar's classes are expected to commence next year due to construction delays. For the first time, recruitment of subject-specific teachers for secondary classes is underway. The selection process is expected to be completed by July. Meanwhile, existing teaching staff already began conducting secondary-level classes since the new session started on April 1. The govt has advertised positions for two PGT (post graduate teacher) posts each in Hindi, English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science, as well as principal posts. Recruitment processes have also been completed for six lab assistants, two office superintendents/clerks, and six posts each for peons, watchmen, and cooks. Nearly 750 applications have been received for various teaching and non-teaching roles, reflecting strong interest in supporting girls' education.

JEE Advanced: CBSE students gain edge over state board counterparts
Hyderabad: Are CBSE students gaining an edge over state board students? Academics from the Telugu states seem to think so, especially with the number of rank holders from state board schools seeing a consistent drop over the years. In fact, many academics are now advising serious JEE aspirants to shift from state board to CBSE syllabus to increase their chances of clearing the entrance test. They say the IIT entrance has become even more aligned with CBSE ever since the National Testing Agency (NTA) started conducting the exam. Last year, there were four students from Telugu states in the top 10, as against two this year. "There has been an abnormal decline in top rankers lately from Telugu states. We feel the CBSE syllabus has a role to play. One, it is more aligned with NTA, and two, students do not have the stress of appearing for the board exam in class 11, which gives them an additional two to three months to prepare for JEE. Keeping this in mind, we are encouraging students, who have the potential to score top ranks, to opt for CBSE over intermediate," said V Ashok Kumar, core member, Narayana Group. Seconding with Kumar, S Vijayender Reddy, mathematics lecturer from IIT study center, Rajendranagar, Tribal Welfare Society, said the students who study intermediate, do not get any advantage in the JEE exam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 개수 제한 없는, 부담 없는 임플란트 개당 36만원 과잉진료 없는 치과 지금 예약 Undo "While preparation for CBSE boards help students in JEE prepration, the same is not the case with Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE). The framing of questions or pattern is more inline with CBSE," he added and said that this year the difference in pattern is more evident. They also pointed out that students' inability to handle stress when the paper is tough, a substantial increase in interest among students from the rest of the country in JEE, and Telugu students moving to other states for coaching and appearing for the exam from other zones as probable reasons for the dip in top rankers from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, which come under IIT Hyderabad zone. "Our topper marked answers worth 20 marks wrong, though he got the right answer when he solved them. Mistakes like this cost him a spot in the top 5. Like him, many Telugu students are worried as they are scared of not getting a good rank. This is not the case with many other students, as they are more relaxed in their approach and try to give their best instead of worrying about ranks," said T Srinivas, dean, Kavuri Hills Zone, Sri Chaitanya Group. This year's cutoff nosedived due to a tougher paper, and from 109 marks in 2024, it is 74 out of 360, which is a decline of over 20%.
