Besides creating two additional seats, Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh, has decided to relax eligibility by 10 % marks for students from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) educational institutions in all recognised higher education institutions of the university.
The decision was taken at the PU syndicate meeting on Monday. The decision was taken following a letter from University Grants Commission (UGC) in which, as a part of the special scholarship scheme for J&K, UGC had requested all the universities of the country to create two seats under supernumerary quota.
The syndicate also approved relaxation and concessions to J&K students in admission to PU from the next session.
