After BBA, BSc seats also left vacant in city

CHANDIGARH: After a large number of BCA seats were left vacant in city colleges, BSc has seen a similar fate as well.



Chandigarh, July 23

After a large number of BCA seats were left vacant in city colleges, BSc has seen a similar fate as well. While 530 seats of BSc (Non-Medical) have been left vacant, the number for BSc medical is 340. The counselling for all the BSc courses has ended today and the colleges will now conduct admissions at their level.

According to colleges, the reason behind this is the centralised counselling. While the admission process has been simplified this way, it has also meant that the reservations have to be strictly followed. The UT pool candidates have to be given 85 per cent seats and that is where most seats remain vacant. A large number of candidates in the general pool fail to get seats as only 15 per cent seats are available for them.

Colleges inform that because of this they have had to admit students with percentages as low as 50 per cent in the UT pool while refusing candidates with 70 per cent in the general pool in the BCA. Till last year, colleges would consider a common merit list and thus admit student with a higher percentage.

The disparity between courses has also hurt admissions. While cut-offs for courses like BCom have been in the 90s, for BCA they are as low as 50 per cent. Similarly, while getting a seat in the BBA has been a tough task, the BSc seats are still vacant.TNS
