Nearly double the number of girls passed the Common Post Graduate Entrance Test (CPGET), held for entry into various courses of all Telangana universities, compared to boys, indicating the growing interest among girl students in post-graduate courses in the conventional streams.
While 41,131 girls among all categories cleared the exam out of the 44,604 who appeared, the number of boys qualifying were just 22,614. This year 24,229 boys only appeared, according to CPGET Convenor Prof. I. Panduranga Reddy. A very popular course once, M.Com had just about 6,000 candidates who qualified for 8,000-odd seats. Similar scenario is seen in subjects like Mathematics and Chemistry that once used to be very competitive with lots of aspirants.
The results were released by the TSCHE Chairman Prof. Limbadri along with OU Vice-Chancellor Prof Ravinder and Registrar Prof. Laxminarayana. Prof. Limbadri said that a pass percentage of 92.16 was registered with 63,748 students qualifying out of 68,836 candidates who appeared.
