Hundreds of post-graduates who want to pursue research at the University of Mumbai have been left in the lurch. The university seems to have no plans to conduct the second PhD Entrance Test (PET).
In 2010, the UGC had made it mandatory for universities to hold PET twice a year.
After much criticism and delay, the university had conducted the first PET on February 27. The second test was scheduled for July or August, but even after a month no announcement has been made yet.
As per the rules, for the second exam, the university should have placed advertisements in newspapers regarding vacancies in various departments by June 10. “If they delay the exam any further, the results will also take time and we will stand to lose three to four months,” said a student.
According to sources, the university has no plan to conduct an exam because no department has submitted a vacancy.
Rajpal Hande, director of the Board of University and Colleges Development, put the ball in the controller of examinations’ court. “Only the controller looks after PET,” he said.
But Vilas Shinde, the controller of examination, said: “Once we are done with results of all post-graduate courses, we will schedule PET. Pending MCom results will also be declared within a week.”
