Gujarat University holds syndicate meeting

Gujarat University (GU) on Wednesday held its syndicate meeting where it was decided that GU will conduct an entrance test under the guidance of a four-member committee of syndicate members for admission on 50 per cent management quota seats of two dental colleges.

Two self-financed colleges had conducted an entrance test separate from the PG entrance test conducted by GU which had created a lot of furore. The GU had also carried out an inquiry against the two colleges.

It was decided in the syndicate meeting that as per Supreme Court guidelines, the dental colleges will have to fill management quota seats on the basis of the test administered by the GU. Colleges cannot have their own entrance test.

The meeting of the GU syndicate held on Wednesday was a non-scheduled meeting and syndicate members were informed about the same only on Tuesday night. Syndicate member Narhari Amin moved a proposal that the syndicate meeting should be held regularly every three months and that the members should be informed about the agenda three days in advance so that they can come prepared for the test.

A notification to this effect too was passed. However, a number of members felt that the notification had come a tad too late as six years of GU vice chancellor Parimal Trivedi’s term had already ended!

GU syndicate members also decided that the University Grants Commission (UGC) norms should be followed in the appointment of the registrar. Recently, the search committee also met to recommend the next VC after Trivedi’s term comes to an end in June.

“It was decided that in all the appointments, the UGC rules and regulations should be completely followed,” said a GU syndicate member.

GU syndicate members also said that process for the syndicate elections should be held between August 1 and 28. The syndicate term comes to an end on August 30.

GU to inquire Choksi’s appointmentGU syndicate has decided to inquire into the complaint that Saurabh Choksi, who was appointed principal of JG College of Commerce after serving a stint as principal in grant-in-aid Nav Gujarat College, who does not have approval of the GU. It needs mention that a complaint had been made. Inquiries had revealed that the file of approval of Choksi’s appointment as principal of JG Commerce College is missing from the GU.

Meanwhile, some complaints have also been registered against another city college principal who was reported to be claiming that he has been appointed by the UGC to recommend colleges for a number of UGC grants. GU VC Parimal Trivedi accepted that the chairman of UGC had written to the GU saying that it has not appointed any ‘tout’ to recommend colleges for grants.
