PU classes to commence on May 24

Mangaluru: The Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE), which had announced that the  Pre-University (PU) classes which was scheduled to start on May 14, has been postponed by 10 days. First PU classes will now commence on May 24.

Earlier, the calendar of events had to be advanced by a month because examinations of the previous academic year completed early due to the upcoming State Assembly elections.

But with SSLC exam results being announced on Monday, PU colleges are struggling to complete their admission process before May 14. Many colleges decided that they would re-open only in the last week of May or first week of June.

Most colleges plan on releasing the cut-off list in the third week of May.

“We need to give students and parents at least a week’s time to apply. After that, we need a minimum of one week to process the admissions. So, even if we have to defy the calendar of events of the department, we will do so for the benefit of students,” a principal said.

Many parents are now relived that the department has postponed the re-opening date. Mangala Padmanabha, a parent, said, “It would have been very difficult for parents to complete the process in a week. There are multiple formalities that need to be completed that include arranging the fees, books and getting the duplicate marks card from the school.”

However, a number of colleges are still going by the old schedule, giving parents barely a week for admission formalities and fee payment.

Parents are demanding that the department bring clarity and issue a circular to all colleges at the earliest.
