| BOPEE eligibility criteria mars career of SKUAST PG aspirants | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, May 26:
The “unfair” eligibility criteria framed by J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) has marred the career of hundreds of Post Graduate aspirants in SK University of Agriculture Science and Technology.
More than a hundred seats have remained vacant due to the “unfair” eligibility criteria while poor students are suffering.
The BOPEE had recently advertised 245 PG seats in various courses offered by the SKUAST. Hundreds of candidates who had completed there bachelors degrees in agriculture and other related courses had applied for the PG admissions.
However, according to the eligibility criteria fixed by the BOPEE, only candidates who score more than 50 percent in open merit and 40 percent in reserved categories in the entrance are eligible for the PG admissions.
This year only 92 candidates have scored more than 50 percent. Out of 245 seats only 92 have been admitted while the rest have been left out.
Humaira who has passed her graduation with 78 percent marks is one of the candidates who got dropped in the entrance. “Despite achieving distinction all through my career, I’ve been dropped in the entrance. A few silly objectives don’t make me incompetent in a single day,” she told KNS.
Humaira who had applied for sericulture stream says out of three candidates only one has qualified. “Will the SKUAST authorities run class for a single student? The want to wasted rest of the seats, but don’t allow us to join,” she alleged.
Sources told KNS that SKUAST-J authorities have adopted a novel way to admit such candidates who don’t score the required percentage in the entrance. “They allow them admission during mid session on the pretext that seats are vacant. Here in SKUAST-K seats get wasted, but candidates aren’t allowed mid session admissions,” they said.
Appealing Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, to personally intervene into the matter, the dropout candidates said, “It is question of our career. What will we do if we are denied admission in PG on silly eligibility criteria? The admission should be done on merit, like the BOPEE does it at bachelors’ level.”
Minister for Agriculture, Ghulam Hassan Mir said that merit can’t be lowered if some one has not qualified. However, he was quick to add that he will look into the matter and then decide over it.
