Gujarat Technology University, the state’s largest varsity, on Wednesday announced that it will allow students, who quit their diploma or degree engineering programs midway from its affiliated colleges, to resume their academic studies.
“Earlier only students with backlog were allowed to rejoin studies, but now any student who had left their degree or diploma studies midway through the academic year, can now rejoin college,” said an official at GTU.
The board of governors at GTU took this decision at a meeting held recently. GTU has 550 affiliated colleges. The varsity released a circular in this connection on Wednesday.
In the case of diploma studies, students were required to complete the programme within six years while it was eight years in the case of degree studies.
“The new education policy has provisions for candidates to re-enter a programme at any point of time after they quit. Even if a student quit the programme many years ago and wished to rejoin, s/he can do so at any time,” said GTU sources. Such candidates can resume studies after payment of fees of Rs 5,000, according to sources.
The decision is likely to give a new lease of life to several hundred students who left their studies incomplete in the past due to varied reasons, sources added.
