Validity certificates must for entry to professional colleges

Updated on: Saturday, January 21, 2012

Students belonging to the reserved category seeking admission to professional colleges in the state will have to submit their validity certificates along with their caste certificate and other documents while admission. Failing that, they will not get admission to colleges.

Earlier, post admission, students had three months to produce their validity certificate, issued by a special committee of the social welfare department. But now, students will have to keep the same ready during the time of admission itself.

Director of the technical education department, S Mahajan, said, The decision was taken by the social welfare department because some students do not manage to obtain a validity certificate even after three months into the course and are expelled from the college. Most end up wasting a year and cannot even join as general category students, as admissions are closed by then.

The idea has not gone down very well with students who say the queue to get a validity certificate is very long as the social welfare department is understaffed.
