In what could be a new way of misleading students, a print advertisement, which had recently appeared in some newspapers, claimed that a college will provide an opportunity to students who have failed II PU to pursue various undergraduate degree courses under the affiliation of Bangalore University (BU).
The ad carried only a contact number without the name of the college. When The Hindu called the number to verify, the people who answered confirmed that those who have failed in II PU could join their degree courses.
“We have an inclusive education programme under which even if the student has not completed Class XII, they can enroll with us for the degree and also complete their back papers with us,” said the person who answered the call at the admissions office.
