As if the bogus admission scam that surfaced at M S University's Faculty of Technology and Engineering last week was not enough, another admission goof-up at the varsity has hit the headlines. And, this relates to the admission of first citizen of Vadodara, mayor Jyoti Pandya at M S University's Faculty of Law.
Pandya had applied for admission in the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) offered by law faculty before she became the mayor. The faculty had even granted her admission, but nearly eight months ago it came to light that there was a procedural lapse in granting Pandya admission. It was later cancelled by the faculty.
Pandya had applied for the LLB course in 2008. While applying for the admission, she had submitted marksheets of diploma in homeopathy and degree certificate and marksheets of Masters in Arts (history) which she had completed from MSU. Months later, the faculty realised that Pandya had not submitted marksheets and degree certificate of bachelor's course which is mandatory for getting admission.
The faculty officials admit that the goof-up happened due to oversight as it was presumed that she would have a bachelors' degree if she had submitted her masters' degree certificate. "The student's admission was cancelled because she could not produce the bachelors' degree certificate," officiating dean of the faculty Ghanshyam Solanki said, admitting that there was a goof-up at the faculty.
Interestingly, the faculty claims that her admission was cancelled immediately after the mistake came to the notice and Pandya had not appeared for any exam. The officials also claim that she had not even submitted her transfer certificate from arts faculty by the time her admission was cancelled.
Pandya, however, told TOI on Saturday that she had passed first semester exam of LLB course from the faculty and even cleared two exams in second semester. The question now arises that if Pandya had not submitted transfer certificate how did she appear in the exams.
"I don't want to unnecessarily rake up any issue. Before I became mayor and was practising medicine, I wanted to pursue LLB just to enhance my knowledge of law," Pandya said.
