Private II?PU students face rejection for degree courses

Bengaluru, Jan 27: The fate of more than 30,000 candidates across the State taking the II PU exam in private this March, hangs in balance as universities are of the view that these candidates do not meet the educational requirement of “Plus 2” to enrol for degree courses.

In fact, officials suspect that the fear of being rejected by universities could be one of the major reasons for a decrease in the number of private candidates this year.

Students who appear for PU exam in private do not attend regular classes in colleges but prepare for the exam on their own. The University Grants Commission Regulations prescribe a minimum of “Plus Two” as the educational qualification to join degree courses. Hence, the candidates should have completed either two years of PU course or any other equivalent course.

In the case of private candidates, they would not have appeared for the first PU exam but directly appear for the II PU examinations. Vice-Chancellors are of the view that this cannot be considered as “Plus Two”.

While Bangalore University has stuck to its earlier stand that it will not give admissions to these candidates for the academic year 2015-16, other vice-chancellors too do not have a favourable opinion on admitting these candidates.

In September last, Bangalore University, in its academic council meeting, decided that private candidates will not be eligible for admissions to degree courses. However, since it was the middle of the academic year and several of them had already enrolled into colleges (for 2014-15), the university permitted the students to continue with their. This time the varsity will not give admissions to such candidates, VC Prof B Thimme Gowda told Deccan Herald.

Tumkur University VC A H Rajasab too said that the regulations prescribe a minimum of two-year course work and the university would give admissions based on these regulations.

“Otherwise, how can we ascertain whether they are genuinely qualified for the degree course or not?” B R Ananthan,former VC of Rani Channamma University, Belagavi (who retired in August 2014), was also of the same view. “It is against the principle of natural justice. Some students would have put in more work by attending course work for two years,” he said.

Decline in numbers

According to statistics available with the Department of Pre-University Education, as many as 32,000 candidates will write II?PU exam in private this year. The number has come down compared to the previous year when 36,000 candidates took the exam.

Under normal circumstances, the number of candidates would only have increased and not come down, officials said attributing the decrease to the candidates fearing rejection by universities.

Bangalore University brought up the issue in the middle of the academic year and hence could not do much in addressing the issue, DPUE Director Sushama Godbole said. She said that the department would constitute an expert committee to frame new syllabus for these candidates, to bring them on a par with regular candidates.

However, the revised course work would be applicable from the academic year 2016-17 and candidates writing the exam this year would not benefit.

Nonetheless, these candidates would still be eligible for government jobs that mandate PUC as the minimum educational qualification.

Mangaluru: A man from Dakshina Kannada was duped of Rs 2.5 lakh after he was promised a Poland visa.

In a complaint, a resident of Belthangady, stated that the accused, Manoj, had promised a job for his son in Poland. 

Between May 22 of last year and March 19, he handed over Rs 2.2 lakh in various phases, citing different reasons.

However, since the accused failed to provide a visa or return the money, a case was registered at the Dharmasthala police station under IPC sections 417 and 420.

Mangaluru: In the wake of complaints regarding middlemen menace, sleuths of Lokayukta on Friday, March 15, conducted a raid at the Mangaluru Urban Development Authority. 

The Lokayukta team found unaccounted money and several files, which were not disposed of for a long period.

Further, he said that many people gathered at the MUDA office during the Lokayukta raid, and have raised complaints about the harassment at the urban development authority. “We have gathered evidence for MUDA officials carrying out file disposal processes through brokers on phone calls. The investigation on the MUDA network will be continued,” he said.

Bengaluru: The Vokkaliga heartland of the old Mysuru region consisting of several southern districts will be the testing ground for the recently forged BJP-JD(S) alliance in Karnataka in the Lok Sabha polls.

The ruling Congress will now look to consolidate its gains that it made in the assembly elections in May last year when it made inroads into the strongholds of the regional party headed by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda in these districts.

In the 2019 Pariamentary elections, the Congress and JD(S) fought together but secured only one seat each in the state. The BJP bagged 25 out of the total 28 Lok Sabha seats.

The Congress and JD(S) win, in fact, came in the old Mysuru region -- Bangalore Rural and Hassan, respectively, while Mandya seat went to an independent backed by the BJP.

This time, the JD(S) has an alliance with BJP. According to sources, the JD(S) is likely to be alloted Hassan, Mandya and Kolar seats in the region, from where Deve Gowda's party draws its strength from in Karnataka.

The JD(S) is now looking to bounce back after the drubbing it received in the May assembly polls.

The Congress and JD(S) are considered to be traditional rivals in the region, where the BJP has also been improving its vote-share.

The BJP-JD(S) alliance hopes to counter the Congress' surge in the region, determined to consolidate Vokkaliga votes in their favour and banking on the Modi charisma. Both parties also hope to gain from each other with this alliance.

The Congress is hoping to further its prospects and continue its dominance in the region, with the help of its strong local leadership and riding on its five guarantee schemes.

Both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Congress state President D K Shivakumar, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister come from this region, and so does JD(S) patriarch Deve Gowda and his son H D Kumaraswamy, a former CM and that party's state President.

According to a political analyst, 'coordination among local leaders and transfer of votes between the parties are going to be key for the BJP-JD(S) alliance to click.' Lack of trust between sizeable workers and leaders of both parties on the ground had proved to be counterproductive for Congress and JD(S) combine in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, resulting in their rout and helping the BJP.

Both Congress and BJP have announced candidates for some seats in the region for the 2024 polls.

The Congress has re-nominated D K Suresh, brother of Shivakumar, from Bangalore Rural.

Interestingly, the BJP has fielded the scion of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar from Mysore and noted cardiac surgeon and Deve Gowda's son-in-law, Dr C N Manjunath, from Bangalore Rural.

In Karnataka, the Lok Sabha elections will be held in two phases on April 26 and May 7.
