PMT to be held this month Rohtak, June 3 Addressing a press conference, he said the date would be announced by the weekend. Asked why the test had been postponed and the competent authority changed at the last minute, he said there were certain confidential reasons which could not be stated publicly. The test would be conducted in a transparent manner to allay fears of students, he said. The test was scheduled to be held on May 26, but it was postponed at the last minute. The government order specifying the competent authority to hold the test was also changed partially. Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of Maharshi Dayanand University was to supervise it. However, after the postponement, the responsibility was entrusted to the Director of the PGIMS. Dr Poonia said about 400 posts in the institute, which had been vacant for some time would be filled shortly. These could not be filled earlier because of the Lok Sabha poll. He said the vacant posts of teachers in the institute would also be filled soon as the Haryana Public Service Commission was expected to release the list of successful candidates by the weekend. |
