Gujarat University showcause to dental colleges

Updated on: Friday, February 03, 2012

Gujarat University (GU) has issued a show cause notice to the Karnavati Dental College and Ahmedabad Dental College after it received a complaint that the two colleges had jointly organized an entrance test on the basis of which the management would grant admission in their postgraduate seats.

The two colleges have been asked to explain why their recognition should not be cancelled for grossly violating the rules and regulations of GU which stipulate that no college can conduct an entrance test on its own and all colleges should follow the merit list declared after the common entrance test conducted for PG medical students by GU. GU vice-chancellor Parimal Trivedi said that it was brought to the notice of the university officials that the two colleges had jointly announced an entrance test on February 5, which is independent of the PG entrance test conducted by GU on January 29.

Officials said that this action was in gross violation of GU rules and such indiscipline can not be ignored.

"This is a very serious matter and we have asked the colleges to submit their explanation as to why their deposit should not be confiscated. If the colleges still go ahead with conducting the entrance test, strict action will be taken like the university not enrolling their students," Trivedi said.
