Though the admission process for these courses takes around three months on an average, however, it is unnecessarily stretched up to 6 months, resulting in a delay in the commencement of the classes. Now, the University is gearing up for conducting one entrance test of 100 marks and the result of the examination will be declared within an hour.
Before the introduction of the new system of examination, students had to take two tests of 200 marks each. There was a gap of 3-4 months between the examinations and declaration of the results.
The first test was on a general aptitude test and it covered several subjects like numerical abilities, logical reasoning, language aptitude and reasoning. The second paper was subject specific and it carried descriptive questions on different topics.
Candidates after clearing the first examination have to appear for the second examination. The entire process of conducting the examination, scrutinising the question papers and announcing the result etc. required 3-4 months. By the time the admission process is completed it took another two months. As the result, the commencement of the examination was delayed and subsequently it took a long time to complete the syllabus of the courses.
