of students for practical/aptitude tests, to determine their eligibility to be
admitted to the University for the Academic year 2011/2012.
The Supreme Court ordered the UGC to admit
5,609 students in addition to the normal intake. However UGC realized that in
some districts, only a few students had obtained the pass marks to be called
for the practical, aptitude tests.

take students from other districts to make up for the shortage to meet the
legal requirement of 5,609 admissions for the academic year, 2011/2012.
