KANPUR: Though the Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj University (CSMU) on Saturday uploaded the status of vacant seats in its affiliated colleges on the varsity website, there is no information available from majority of the degree colleges.
The university, for the convenience of students have uploaded the details of the seats availability in the colleges for different courses. The information carries the number of admission seats left in colleges, as per the details given by the colleges till July 22.
“The provision of availability of seats in colleges has been made on the university’s website so as to facilitate the students who are seeking admission in the colleges. This would help the admission seekers know the chances of the admission in those colleges where they are going to apply and avoid unnecessary efforts if the seats in the respective colleges are full,” said the vice-chancellor, Prof Harsh Kumar Sehgal.
However, against the count of more than seven dozen affiliated colleges in Kanpur itself, a handful of colleges have provided the seat status, while the many of the prominent city colleges like DAV, Christ Church, PPN, DBS, DG, Jwala Devi, are yet to provide the data. More so, the self-financed departments like physical education department, fine arts and painting department within the varsity campus still are not in the league of the departments, which had given the seat details.
A click on any of these colleges would display a message– ”information not provided by the college.”
To this, the university authorities claim that in few colleges, the admissions have just started and they are yet to compile the latest admission data, they have been informed about the provision to submit the seat status so as to keep updating the information regarding the availability of the seats.
The colleges, which have the details on the varsity website in regard with the admissions include SN Sen College where in 226 are available in BA, 170 seats in BSc, 58 in MA (Hindi), and 60 seats in MA; VSSD with 8 seats left vacant in BCom. Similarly, till July 22, the status of vacant seats in AND college was: BA (243), BCom (40) and BSc (247), for Juhari Devi Degree College, the seats available are: 245 seats in BA, 53 in MA (Hindi), and 60 in MA (Home Science). Also the Brahaspati Mahavidyalay has 559 vacant seats in BA, in BSc (151), BBA (107), MA Hindi (92) and MA Home Science (81)
