Last date for migration from School of Open Learning to a regular college extended.

Migration to a regular college in the second year is a convenient although hard earned way for the students who were not able to make it into a regular college due to low percentage in 12th boards. Foremost criteria being an appreciative score in the Part 1 examination along with availability of seat in the desired college.
Results for the various courses among BA(Prog) and B.Com were late this year, the latest result being declared in the first week of November. This delay has definitely strained the student's expectations of migration from SOL to other regular colleges, as classes in most of the regular colleges start from mid August adding to the woes of the expectant migratory birds the last date for the migration this year was October 16, 2010.
To make up grievances caused by the late results on the aspirations of students hoping to migrate to a regular college, the last date for migration has been extended to December 16, 2010. 
"It is notified that the last date for migration of students from the School of Open Learning to regular courses has been extended till 16th December 2010 for the academic year 2010-11."
The notice can be found at this link.

This step is a last minute fire fighting action but at the end of the day, students have to bear the eventual loss, due to the delay. The delay in declaration of results marred the expectations of prospective students who burnt midnight oil to obtain a good percentage so that they 9Y745PKR6VYT can fulfill their dream of studying in a regular college. The extension of date tries to fix the problem partially as the delay has hurt the main motive of joining a regular college, with have of the academic year already over.

  1. This a true story and is going to repeat this year as-well.. Its very depressing watching my friends attend a regular college and my last hope of getting into one get destroyed as most of the teaching might have been over by the time i get there.

    I am really sorry for your loss. I don't have a luxury to attend a regular college due to my job, but I have personally felt the agony of my dear friend who could not migrate just because his results were late. Even after securing 58 % in SOL.
    It is also one of the reason I started this blog and fb page facebook.com/solconnect , so that students are informed and some kind of collective is formed.
