Addressing the ceremony, the VC said that usually, the university announces BA/BSc results in the last week of August or early September. “However, this time, the Department of Examinations has prepared the results of 204,626 candidates in just 42 days, which is incredible.”
He congratulated the Controller of Examinations and his team for this unbelievable achievement. He added that due to this effort, the university has started admissions at master’s level from August 1. The VC said women students from less privileged background have secured top positions, which was evidence of their dedication and hard work. “In the last one year, PU’s international ranking has improved and the university was declared number one in natural sciences research.”
He said that the PU administration is ensuring quality at all levels and curriculum of all academic programmes has been revised on modern lines. He assured that the university was also ensuring quality education at M Phil and PhD levels. He said these degree programmes are only being offered in those disciplines in which the student-teacher ratio is per standard.
He advised male students to also work hard and come forward with better results.
