For the first time, the Patna University (PU) will grant admission to the students in vocational undergraduate (UG) courses on the basis of their intermediate (Class 12) scores. This year, the varsity will not be holding entrance examinations for admitting students in the new academic session 2021-22.
Usually, PU holds entrance examinations for vocational courses but this year it will be cancelled due to the prevailing COVID-19 situation. The University is considering to hold interviews during the admission process for the new academic session.
This decision was taken in the meeting of the Academic Council (AC) on Monday (May 31, 2021). The meeting was held online and it was presided over by vice-chancellor Prof Girish Kumar Chaudhary.
Regarding the enrolment process of the students, Chaudhary said that the decision not to conduct the entrance examination has been taken only due to the current situation.
Vice-chancellor said that the decision has been unanimously passed in the meeting and it will now be presented in the Syndicate meeting on June 2. After passing from there, it will be sent to the Raj Bhawan for getting the governor’s approval. The enrolment process will be started as soon as permission is received from there.

According to officials, the admission process for postgraduate (PG) courses will remain unchanged. Students will be granted admission in PG courses for the academic session 2021-22 on the basis of marks obtained by them in their previous degree examinations.
