Ludhiana, July 31

The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has cancelled the entrance exams for admission to graduate programmes for the academic session 2020-21 in view of COVID-19 pandemic.

Giving detailed information, Dr RS Sidhu, Registrar, PAU, said the University had cancelled Common Entrance Test (CET) and Agriculture Aptitude Test (AAT) for admission to graduate programmes.

In addition, entrance exam for MSc 5-year Integrated Programme has also been cancelled, he said, adding that the examination fee would be refunded to all the candidates.

The admission to graduate programmes at PAU will be based on the evaluation of Classes 10 and 12 marks, he said.

Dr Sidhu said the last date for applying with late fee had been extended to August 7 and the aspiring candidates would now have to pay Rs 2,120 for prospectus and Rs 1,000 as late fee.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
