Admissions to undergraduate courses are likely to be delayed in the University of Calicut as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is yet to declare Class 12 exam results.
Sources told The Hindu on Thursday that the university Syndicate would discuss the issue at its meeting scheduled for Friday. A senior official said CBSE students form a major chunk of applicants, who cannot be ignored. The university started the admission process recently. July 21 is the last date to submit applications.
The authorities were earlier hoping that the results would be out by July 15. The University Grants Commission (UGC) in a letter on July 12, however, asked universities and college principals to put on hold admissions to undergraduate courses in the wake of the delay. The CBSE had recently urged the UGC to delay admissions and issue instructions to universities.
