Tribune News Service

CHANDIGARH, May 15 — Students of all streams at the plus level will qualify for admission to the bachelor of computer engineering (BCE) course in Panjab University from the forthcoming session.

The existing rule provided that the students should have had the option of either mathematics or statistics at the plus level if one wanted to appear in the entrance examination.

Reliable sources pointed out that a decision in this regard was taken by the Regulation Committee at its meeting recently. The changed regulation, however, provides that the candidate should have opted for mathematics at the matriculation level.

The candidate also needs to have secured at least 50 per cent marks in the plus two examination.

UGC exam: The NET examination of the UGC for qualification as lecturer features 3,574 candidates in the Chandigarh circle.

Reliable sources pointed out that 379 candidates appeared in the Punjabi paper, 277 in Hindi, 218 in English, 262 in business management, 68 in computer applications and only one in Sanskrit and folk art each.

CET admit cards: Candidates who have not received their admit cards for the CET-2000 being conducted by Panjab University have been asked by the university to contact the office of the joint controller of examination by tomorrow.

An official press release pointed out that the examinations are scheduled for May 19 and 20. Those candidates who fail to contact the university office on May 16 can contact the offices at different centres on May 18. Besides Chandigarh, candidates can approach the centres at Delhi, Kurukshetra and Ludhiana.

Workshop on theatre fails to begin
From a Correspondent

CHANDIGARH, May 15 — Despite wide publicity, a workshop on theatre, modelling, dance, music and fine art failed to start today at its scheduled time of 5 p.m. Banners had been put up outside the proposed venue, Guru Harkrishan Model School in Sector 38, announcing about the workshop.

The organisers had inserted advertisements in local newspapers, informing about the workshop. But nobody, except some mediapersons, turned up at the venue. The organiser, Mr Vijay Giri, was not available nor were any participants. Total confusion prevailed at the site.

When mediapersons reached the venue, a person said he could only open the hall where the workshop was to be held and he had no other information or contact phone number of Mr Giri.
