For some, B Com too tough to even clear compartment exam

CHANDIGARH: In a surprising trend across Panjab University and its affiliated colleges, one third of students who appear in B Com compartment exam, particularly first year, either fail or get compartment again. As many as 374 of the 1,261 students who appeared in the compartment exam in September 2011 got compartment again while 21 failed the exam. A similar trend was witnessed in B.Com II but thankfully, in third year, the takers of compartment exam are few. Experts say the reason behind this trend is that in first year, the compartment or failed candidates are too many in number because students find themselves not competent enough to pursue B Com further by September and drop out or opt for BA instead. "Such cases are particularly high in rural districts around Abhor, Dasua and other areas in Punjab. Students hailing from these areas feel the burden of commerce course since it involves several practical assignments and has 5 lengthy subjects. Those who do not clear their compar

DU to start SMS alert service for circulating information

New Delhi: A great confusion prevailed among Delhi University students last week when the last minute changes in duration and marks of 'Reading Gandhi' paper had to be introduced. The information reached Ramjas College quite late when many students had already left. To avoid such incidents in future, the varsity has decided to start an SMS alert service to facilitate all colleges so that no information goes un-informed.

AICTE turns down plea to ban new engineering colleges

JAIPUR: The AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) turned down the state government's plea seeking a temporary ban on new engineering colleges owing to a large number of vacant seats.
