A section of applicants waiting to write the preliminary entrance examination for Ph.D. says that it is yet to receive hall tickets from Madurai Kamaraj University. For the first time, the institution has sought online applications. The test is to be conducted on September 8.
A total of 52 Ph.D. and 44 M. Phil programmes will be in the offing and tests will be held in Madurai, Coimbatore, Chennai and Tirunelveli. However, without any admit cards, the applicants say that they do not have any idea about which centres they are to head to.
According to University Grants Commission guidelines laid in 2010, M. Phil and Ph.D. admissions were to be conducted through common entrance tests by each university.
Only two years ago did MKU begin the process of conducting the examination.
Prior to this, individual schools conducted their separate tests and admitted students.
Students were to pay a total of ₹ 2,000 to write the entrance before August 25. The date was extended to August 27 by the Registrar’s office.
Deepika Babu, an aspirant for a Ph.D. in Commerce, says that she had applied on August 24 and that amount was deducted from her account. “However, I received no acknowledgement from the university about my centre or receipt of my payment. I called the university and even emailed but it was not of any use,” she said.
N. Arun, another aspirant, says that he is unclear about which centre he must travel to.
“As I do not have an admit card, I may not be able to travel to Coimbatore or Chennai though they have been listed in my order of preference,” he said.
Vice-Chancellor M. Krishnan said that the arrangements were made to outsource it to a large-scale information technology service and consulting organisation that any irregularity, including corruption, is avoided.
“There are some small technical errors which will be solved tomorrow and the day after. In case of further confusion, applicants can approach the university supervisors at the centre to sort out the issue,” he said.
Research Coordinator, MKU, V.S. Vasantha, said there had been a high demand from students in Madurai to continue writing the examination in the district limits.
“It was initially planned that only three centres would be in Madurai. Now, there are seven. Students can approach the university in person and all grievances will be redressed by Thursday,” she said.
