Colleges start fee refund for cancelled admissions

Colleges start fee refund for cancelled admissions

₹1,000 Processing Charge For Freeing Up Seats Post Oct 31

Kolkata: 20.11.2021

Colleges have started the process of refunding fees to candidates who have cancelled their admissions to undergraduate courses after securing admission in another college or university. Colleges have asked candidates who want to cancel their admission to submit a written application with payment details and date of cancellation. Some colleges have even sought explanation from these students for holding back the seat before ultimately deciding to cancel.

According to University Grants Commission norms, students who cancelled their admissions before October 31 will get a full refund. Anybody cancelling their admission after that will have to take a deduction of Rs 1,000 as processing fee.

At Maulana Azad College, candidates must submit the application for refund by November 30, principal Subhasis Dutta said. Candidates seeking refund of admission fee will have to write all the details about their admission and submit them at the entry gate of the college along with attested copies of bank challans, admission cancellation receipt and a cancelled cheque. The college has also requested the students to mention why they held back the seat for so long before cancelling, but this will not affect the fee refund.

Seth Anandram Jaipuria College, too, has started the process of refunding admission fee. “The students have mailed us the details. We are making the refunds,” said college principal Asok Mukhopadhyay.

Students scored high marks in all the board examinations this year on the basis of various computation methods that were used as examinations could not be held due to the second wave of the pandemic. At the time of application to undergraduate courses, students applied to multiple colleges and in different subjects, including those they weren’t to keen to study. As a result, seats in most colleges got blocked and students who actually wanted to pursue those subjects had to wait till the others cancelled their admissions. The education department had to extend the deadline for admission to undergraduate courses multiple times because colleges could not fill up their seats. Some colleges have again opened their admission portals to invite fresh applications to fill the vacancies.

“Since the government waived application fee, students applied to several colleges and subjects. That locked our seats. Towards the end of September, almost 20% seats were vacant when students finally started cancelling admissions. Thankfully, the government extended the deadline and we could fill up some seats,” said a principal of a government college who did not wish to be named.

Tirupati: 20.11.2021

At least 17 people were killed after flash floods ravaged the four Rayalaseema districts of Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool and Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh on Friday. The incessant rains started on Thursday evening, triggered by the deep depression formed over the Bay of Bengal, throwing life out of kilter in the region.

More than 100 persons are feared to have been washed away in separate incidents in the four districts. About seven National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) teams have been deployed to lead the search and rescue operations, besides teams from the police, revenue, and fire department. As Cheyyuru river overflowed, water from Annamayya irrigation project spilled over to several mandals in Rajampet assembly constituency and other parts of Kadapa district.

Three AP State Road Transport Corporation buses carrying passengers got stuck in flood waters near Ramapuram in Rajampet mandal. Though fire services rescued most of the passengers and APSRTC staff, 12 persons who were washed away were found dead at various places in Rajampet mandal. Seven bodies were retrieved near Gandluru, three near Rayavaram, while two bodies were found near Mandapalli. About 30 persons from Mandapalli, Akepadu and Nandaluru villages in Rajampet mandal have been washed away and officials have launched a search operation to trace them. Rail and road traffic between Tirupati and Kadapa came to a standstill as floodwaters damaged railway tracks and national highways at several places along the route.

Personalised Treatment For Patients

Lucknow: 20.11.2021

To provide better personalised treatment to cancer patients using the latest research and advancements, King George’s Medical University launched its Precision Medicine Centre (PMC) on Friday.

The centre will help doctors better understand the underlying mechanisms of diseases and improve their approach in preventing, diagnosing, and treating the cancer.

A symposium was also organised in which the head of hematology department and in charge of the centre for advanced research, under which PMC has been started, Prof AK Tripathi said, “At PMC, we will analyse genes, metabolic function, bionomics and other factors in cancer patients. With this data, personalised treatment would be made to patients for better effect of medicines.”

The centre is necessary because it is often seen that treatment which is beneficial for one individual doesn’t work on another, he added.

Prof Dhavendra Kumar from Queen Mary University, London, who is an adviser for the PMC, said, “There has been a lot of progress in cancer treatment with help of genome sequencing.”

Vice-chancellor Lt Gen (retd) Bipin Puri said that the centre will be a milestone for patient care as well as students.

Prof Thangraj, who addressed the symposium virtually from Hyderabad, explained how the Indian genome is different and from where it originated.

Prof Shally Awasthi, head of pediatrics department, said that precision medicine is the need of the hour and has been introduced in undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

‘Lewd messages to fiancee don’t insult modesty’

‘Lewd messages to fiancee don’t insult modesty’

Mumbai:  20.11.2021

Observing that sending “obscene messages” to a woman one is going to marry can’t be termed insulting her modesty, a sessions court acquitted a 36-year-old man, 11 years after he was booked for cheating and raping her under the false promise of marriage. The court held that sending such messages in premarital period may delight and give the feeling that someone is close enough to understand one’s emotions, reports Rebecca Samervel.

“If at all those are not liked by the other side, it has discretion with it to convey its displeasure to the other side, and the other side generally avoids a repeat of such a mistake. The purpose was to put up his expectation before her, to arouse her with similar feeling of sex, which may give happiness even to her, etc. But in no way those SMSs can be said as were sent to insult her modesty,” it said.

The woman had lodged an FIR in 2010. The couple had met on a matrimonial site in 2007. However, the man’s mother was against the match. In 2010, the man broke up the relationship. Acquitting him of rape charges, the court said every breach of promise to marry can’t be termed cheating or rape. “The man had even been to an Arya Samaj Hall with mangalsutra but it was the quarrel on the ground of stay after marriage and thereafter, by getting tired of his indecisiveness and getting surrendered before his mother’s wish and failing to tackle the problem stood before him in proper manner, he came back. It is certainly not the case of false promise of marriage. It is the case of failure to make substantial efforts,” the court said.
