AU to hold entrance test for admission to professional courses

Prayagraj: After facing the delay in terms of admission in the undergraduate and postgraduate courses, authorities of Allahabad University could soon start the process for admission for professional courses including a five-year law course.
Earlier, the ministry of education has asked the varsity authorities to send the details of courses taught by AU so that a common entrance test could be conducted for admission at all the central universities of the country.
This is proposed to be held by the National Testing Agency (NTA) which would pave the way for admission in all the central universities of the country, including AU.
However, after AU providing the details sought by the ministry, varsity authorities have not been informed of any further instructions as to when this common entrance test would be conducted.
Meanwhile, the AU administration has decided to go ahead with conducting the admissions for professional courses of its own.
The idea is to make the preparations and if the ministry says that it would hold test for professional courses too, the process would be put on hold.
“Since the entire process for conducting any entrance test requires preparations for at least around two months, we decided to go ahead with making the preparations and conducting then entrance test for selective professional courses run on the campus including all the courses run under the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS)”, says director admissions, Prof I R Siddiqui.
He further informed that the courses in which AU intent to conduct the entrance test and the follow-up admission include Law Five year integrated course and LLB along with MBA, MFA (masters in fine arts) MEd, etc.
Sources told TOI that Au has not yet decided whether these entrance test would be conducted in offline or online mode but probably this would be held somewhere in August or early September.
It is also learnt that the core committee of the admissions has decided to move ahead with the process of holding the entrance test of the professional courses after the approval of the vice-chancellor Prof Sangita Srivastava.
Sources also inform that AU is still awaiting the instructions of the ministry in terms of conducting entrance test and follow-up admissions through NTA.
