Warangal: There has been an unprecedented delay of about two years in PhD admissions of Kakatiya University, causing severe anxiety among students, who have been keenly looking forward to secure seats. The varsity officials, who should conduct the admissions twice in a year, are virtually playing with the lives of students.
A research scholar, Ravula Krishna, told The Hans India that the student community was agitated by the indifferent attitude of officials of KU, where the admission scenario was in sharp contrast to that prevailing in other institutions. Other universities are regularly conducting PhD admissions twice in a year, he points out.
The KU officials have stopped the PhD enrollment for the last two years. The last entrance exam was held in March 2012 and the results were declared a few months back, following an agitation by students. Although the results were declared a year back, officials have been dilly-dallying, playing havoc with the lives of the interested research scholars. The officials were forced to act after a recent agitation. They constituted a sub-committee to go into the issue and washed off their hands. Research scholars fear that the admission process would be further delayed by the sub-committee, said Anji Reddy, an aspirant.
The students want KU to have the same PhD admission guidelines as followed by the Osmania University. Absence of a regular vice-chancellor was being cited as an excuse by the officials for covering up their ‘miserable’ failure.
Save for conceding that the absence of proper guidelines was one of the reasons, Registrar Sailu declined to elaborate on the issue. Research scholars apprehend that they would be losing the CSR and Rajiv Gandhi fellowships/scholarships in the event of any further delay in PhD admissions, according to their president Rajender.
Representatives of various student organisations want Governor E S L Narasimhan to intervene at the earliest so that the problems facing the research scholars could be solved soon.
