Patna: More than 50 scholars of Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) have cleared the UGC NET-JRF 2025 examination conducted by the
National Testing Agency
(NTA) in June. The results of this examination were declared on Monday.
CUSB's public relation officer Mohammad Mudassir Alam said that showing excellent performance in the UGC-JRF test, students from different departments have qualified for admission in three categories namely junior research fellowship (JRF), NET (assistant professor/lectureship) and PhD admission based on cut-off marks.
The maximum number of students who have qualified for the test is from the political science department (12), followed by commerce (nine).
The number of successful students from other departments includes environmental science (six), psychological studies (six), sociological studies (six), mass communication and media studies (four), teacher education (four), statistics (four) and law (two).
Meanwhile, CUSB scholar Shivam Priyadarshi of the geography department has returned from Italy after attending the fourth summer school of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG).
Shivam was one of the 30 participants selected worldwide through a competitive international process. During the programme, he received advanced training on geohazard assessment tools, numerical modelling techniques and the integration of geological and geotechnical data for hazard-prone regions. His participation aligns closely with his doctoral research on climate-induced disasters, particularly debris flows and GLOFs.
"Field visits to the alpine regions and the hands-on sessions on remote sensing and modelling tools were especially valuable for my ongoing research," Shivam said.
