ACSC 15.19.1
Dr. S.K.Mohapatra, Registrar, SRE explained that between the year
1991 to 1996 there was a provision for admission to PGSDM under
the ‘Direct Entry Scheme’ without entrance test. The students who
were admitted under the Direct Entry Scheme were also eligible to
take admission in Master of Business Administration programme
subject to the condition that they clear the “Entrance Test”. However,
a number of the students (116 as of now) admitted to PGSDM “Direct
Entry Scheme” continued to re-register for the remaining courses of
MBA stream under the same enrolment number. Out of these, 14
even completed 21 or more courses way back in 2001 and the
University has declared their results. But, only 8 students have
completed the 21 courses in proper combination which otherwise
makes them eligible for the award of MBA degree. The University in
consultation with the School advised the students who have cleared
21 papers to clear the mandatory entrance test for award of degree.
One of the students had cleared the Entrance Test and has been
awarded Degree in the 16 th Convocation.
