BPEd students face uncertain future
Chandigarh, June 29 The course, one of the most innovative courses in sports education started by the Chandigarh education department in 2004 with a provisional affiliation from Panjab University, has currently three batches running in the college. However, the common prospectus of colleges neither provides any details nor the requirements for the course this year, which were included in the prospectus for the year 2006. Instead, the prospectus mentions that the course is not recognised by the NCTE (National Council for Teachers Education) bringing the future of the entire course under a cloud. Even after three years, it seems that the college authorities are not in a mood to follow up the case with the NCTE. Earlier, at the behest of the director, higher education, (DHE), a senior lecturer visited the NCTE, Jaipur, followed by a visit of another three-member team. When contacted, principal of the college A.N. Garg, said, “The course began two years before I joined. We had submitted our reports to the office of the DHE.” About the status of the course, he categorically stated that it was not recognised and it was for the students to decide the future course of action. The uncertainty about the course has sent students in a tizzy. “We see no hope after finishing this course. Given the present approach of the college authorities, bleak future await us with hardly any chance of employment,” said a fourth-year student on condition of anonymity. “It seems we are being penalised for no fault of ours. If the college authorities are not willing to approach the NCTE, we should be allowed to take up the matter with the council,” said another student. DHE Raji P. Shrivastava, when contacted, said approval for the course was pending with the NCTE. “Though we have got a positive response from the NCTE, but a formal nod is awaited. Another team will again visit the NCTE immediately after the admission procedure is over. We will follow it up till we get the affiliation,” he said. In fact, we are taking the details of a parallel case of approval for the same course, she stated. College plays spoilsport Interestingly, the college prospectus has no mention of physical education that used to be an elective subject for the graduate degree course. Terming it as a “printing mistake”, Principal A.N. Garg claimed that students could opt for the subject on the admission day i.e. July 2.

PU sees huge rush
Chandigarh, June 29 Most of those, who came to the university this morning, did not know that the date had been extended. Students ended up waiting in long queues outside the enquiry windows to submit the forms. For some of the students, the wait extended to over two hours. Despite efforts of the university authorities, the rush remained uncontrollable. While the final numbers have yet to be counted, the trends show that in arts, maximum number of applications have been received for admission to master’s in psychology followed by political science and sociology. Many students have also applied for admission to MA Punjabi and Hindi. Admissions to French and German have also picked up. History, once a popular subject, is also not attracting many students this year mainly because of the diminishing importance of the subject in the civil services examination.
