Vacant seats for reserved categories to be allotted to others 5 days after closing of admissions
More seats will be added to the existing undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses in government and aided colleges affiliated to the University of Calicut this year. It will be based on requests from those institutions and the facilities being provided there.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the university’s Syndicate on Wednesday. Colleges which became functional last year too will be benefited by this. If there are vacant seats reserved for differently abled persons, sportspersons, residents of Lakshadweep, and those from economically weaker sections, they will be converted and allotted to other students five days after the closing of admissions process. But it will require the university’s sanction.
The decision to increase seats follows widespread complaints that many students were unable to get the courses and colleges of their choice even after scoring high marks in Plus Two exams and the government approving a 20% increase in the number of seats.
