New Delhi: In what comes as good news for students that wish to apply to several undergraduate courses atJamia Millia Islamia (JMI), the university has decided to simplify its admission procedure by bringing down the number of entrance tests.
The university has announced that instead of students having to sit in multiple entrance tests for each course, they would now be required to sit in only one commonentrance test in each discipline.
The university last year had around 50 entrance tests but would now have only eight entrance tests for undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses. In the Social Sciences group students interested in BBS, B.Com, economics, BA with computer application and hotel management will have to appear for only oneexamination.
Similarly in group II, there will be only one entrance testfor subjects such as BA (Hons) Sociology, Political Science, Social Work and Bachelor of Arts.
JMI Vice Chancellor Najeeb Jung said that theuniversity receives a large number of outstation candidates who have to appear and wait for several entrance tests. "For this reason, we decided to opt for common entrance tests which will save not only the time but also efforts by students," he said.
As the new academic session is all set to begin at the varsity, it has also planned to introduce new courses. The BA programme that had been canceled last year is being reintroduced and the course structure has been revamped according to the Tripos Programme at the Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Najeeb Jung said that the course had been recast and the syllabus has been made better and relevant to the present times. The number of seats for the course has also been reduced. Earlier, the course could admit 190 students but now the number of seats has been reduced to 50.
Students who would wish to apply for the programme will have to choose three subjects out of history, geography, economics, public administration and political science and one subject from the professional courses.
The university is also introducing other new courses such as M.Phil in Latin, American studies, European studies, MA in early childhood development, M.Tech. in earthquake engineering and M.Arch. in urban regeneration.
