PU receives over 8,700 BCom applications

Over 2,500 students have submitted their applications,seeking admission to the Bachelor of Commerce (B Com) course in the city-based colleges against 1,400 seats,in Panjab University. Moreover,over 6,200 students also applied online for the same course.

Admission to this course is centralized and is being coordinated by the Panjab University (PU). There is still one week left for the submission of forms.

Centralised admission process for B Com was started in 2010.

The PU authorities had decided to continue with the centralised online admission process for city-based colleges only while affiliated institutes located in the two cites of Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana had been asked to conduct the process themselves this year.

The varsity had taken this decision after Senators representing the colleges informed the PU authorities that a lack of internet facilities,in certain areas of Punjab,made it difficult for students to file the forms online.

GGDSD College,Sector 32 has 280 seats,while MCM College for Women,Sector 36 and DAV College Sector 10 have 210 seats each.

Moreover,there are 140 seats each in five government colleges.
