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.

Revised DU academic calender 2010-11, tentative annual exam dates.

After putting two academic calenders to the trash Delhi University has finally settled on the third and supposedly final academic calender for this year. Thus putting the end to the confusion regarding when examinations would be held.

According to the new calender the winter vacations will be from December 25 to January 2, which means lesser holidays this time due to prior strikes. This means the SOL people will have fewer PCP classes this year as the classes are mostly held on vacations/holidays.

Summer vacations will be from June 8 to July 20. And the annual examination will be held from May 03 to May 28.

I tailored it for SOL people. Read full article here.

PCP Classes Schedule

"Personal Contact Program" as they are called, a short string of lectures on sundays/holidays or more appropriate to say interaction cum guidance session for the benefit of students. These PCP classes are helpful in one or other way and very crucial too, a guidance and few tips on preparation for the paper comes handy, and in my experience uptil now I have found the teachers very helpful. On the lighter side, students get to socialise, discuss and see what other fellow students are upto. 

The PCP classes schedule for year 2010 has been released recently. Most of the course have classes on weekends or Sundays only, besides B.Com(H) 1st yr and English Honors people are having PCP classes on regular days too.
Good for them.
