JAC gives second chance to 500 PEC applicants

Announcing the decision to the applicants and their parents who were sitting on a dharna at PEC University of Technology for the last four days,the JAC convenor Dr Sanjeev Kumar said that the applicants would be given another chance to apply for admissions.

The decision was taken in a meeting attended by Principals and Directors of all the six institutes including the Director of PEC University of Technology which is conducting the online admission process based on AIEEE score Dr Manoj Datta and the JAC convenor.

“The applicants will be given two days to submit their fee details either through fax,e-mail or by hand. These will be accepted by the JAC till July 6 at 5 pm. On July 7,the data will be compiled and incorporated along with the data of applicants that have already registered themselves. Till July 9,the same applicants can fill in their branch choices,” informed Dr Kumar. An advertisement informing the same will be released on Tuesday.

Till Sunday,the authorities of PEC University of Technology had maintained their stand of not accommodating the students who failed to register themselves online for admissions. While the applicants decided to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court today along with a major protest. Students For Society (SFS) and the PEC students’ group supported the applicants in their dharna against the authorities.

The case was highlighted when around 500 applicants paid the registration-cum-counselling fee of Rs 1,050,but did not enter the details of the e-challan for completing the process of registration. They realised that they were not registered with the committee when they tried to log in for choice filling of branches that was opened on June 29. While the last date for registration was June 24.
