PEC to consult Centre on nomination provision Chandigarh, April 29 This was decided by the Board of Governors of the college at a meeting here today. The PEC provides for reservation of supernumerary seats in the college for candidates nominated by agencies such as State/UT government, Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Human Resource Development etc. Each year, at least at one or two students are admitted to the college based on such recommendation. It was felt by the members of the PEC board that it should first find out if this provision was applicable to deemed universities in the country or not following which a final decision regarding the abolition of this provision would be taken. The Board of Governors agreed to the proposal that the category “other award winners (does not include service medals)” for admission to candidates, who are dependents of military persons, be done away with. Wholly dependent sons/daughters/spouses of military personnel, who are awardees of specified gallantry decorations, are to be considered in order of preference. These include Paramvir Chakra, Ashok Chakra, Sarvottam Yudh Seva medal etc the last preference being “other award winners”. It was felt that this category is not well-defined and therefore gives rise to controversies at the time of admission and there have been court cases on this account. Regarding the decision relating to the proposal to simplify the procedure of admission of candidates in the sports category, the board members constituted a committee to look into the matter in greater detail. A final decision on the matter would be taken after the committee submits its report to the board. Admission under the sports category is made on the basis of sports gradation (grades A, B, C and D) issued by the Chandigarh Administration on the basis of sports achievements of the candidates. The procedure to determine the inter-se merit of the candidates having the same sports gradation is being done following a complicated set of criteria. The college had proposed to do away with this set of criteria replacing it with determining the inert-se merit based on the AIEEE rank. In case of a tie in the academic merit in the AIEEE, the same would be resolved by considering the seniority of age.
