PUNE: Students from non-state board schools and colleges trying to apply to senior colleges affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) will get admissions based on the cut-offs.
If the students have scored more marks than the cut-off percentage, they would be eligible for admission and if the seats have been filled, then too these students will be admitted in the desired college and the varsity would increase the intake capacity where required.
A decision to this effect has been taken in the wake of the late announcement of results by the Central Board of Secondary Education and Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations.
The decision was made in the academic council meeting of the university on Saturday.
Pro-vice-chancellor of SPPU Sanjeev Sonawane said, “We have ensured that the non-state board students do not face injustice during admissions. They will get admissions to senior colleges as per merit. The colleges have been informed that non-state board students scoring above the cut-off cannot be denied admission. If any student has not scored marks more than cut-off, then they will have to confirm admissions where there is vacancy.”
The CBSE Std XII results were announced on Friday and the ISC results were announced on Sunday. As against these central education boards, the higher secondary certificate (HSC) results of the state board were announced in the first week of June.
Many colleges had announced the admission rounds immediately after the HSC results were declared.
In the absence of a centralised admission system, every senior college conducts its own process and based on the applications received, a merit list is announced and admissions are granted depending on the intake.
Sonawane said, “The SPPU has right to increase the seats of colleges by 10%. However, if these seats are also filled and there are eligible students even after the extra 10% seats are filled, the university could further consider increasing the seats of a particular college if proposed.”
