Council of Presidency University has decided to reserve 50% of its own post graduate seats for undergraduate students. Such practices can also be used by other state universities as well. State Government is planning to introduce a common entrance examination to fill postgraduate seats in all state universities. Reserved PG seats are of less concern when students are interested to get admission to the other state institute as they simply need to crack the exam.
Students are flickered upon the conventional reservation system, as it creates problem for students who want to take admission to certain masters' courses, as various universities reserve a significant percentage of their PG seats for their own graduates. When the Presidency College has decided reserve 50% of its seats for students from its own undergraduate courses, the vice Chancellor of Calcutta University said that some of the universities keep the quota for PG students for their own graduates which are archaic in its approach.
Presidency University which is new and modern should not follow the same criteria. He also said, if he'll be provided with an opportunity then he would remove reservation of PG seats in Calcutta University (CU) as well. The mentor group of Presidency University is also against of this reservation of PG seats.
Unexpectedly, 95% of the PG seats in Calcutta University are reserved for its own graduating students. CU had explained that its strict marking system could become a big disadvantage for its own students while competing for PG seats with other university graduates who would have higher scores.
However, Calcutta University conducts entrance examination for its various PG programmes and seats for the remaining courses are filled on the basis of undergraduate marks.
