RULES & REGULATIONS—2010

MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO POST GRADUATE PROGRAMMES

Preamble

WHEREAS Mahatma Gandhi University has a unique distinction among all the Universities in Kerala in having the

largest number of colleges affiliated to it which offer a multitude of courses that stand out by the merit of their content

and cater to new generation job oriented courses that have been designed reckoning the development of technology as

well as conventional streams of study. Despite the existence of such a broad spectrum of courses, students are not

properly informed of that in the absence of adequate mechanism of guidance. As a result students choose wrong

courses not suited to their aptitude.

WHEREAS it is considered necessary to implement a Single Window System called “Centralized Allotment Process”

(hereinafter referred to as CAP) for admission to Post Graduate Degree Courses (PG Courses) in the affiliated colleges of

the University, from the academic year 2010-11 onwards based on the academic and administrative consideration and to

streamline the Post Graduate Admission process. Moreover, it can be ensured that the seats earmarked for various

reservation categories are exclusively allotted to them. The admission process shall be conducted on-line to achieve

transparency and thereby social justice. The CAP is designed such that the applicants need to submit only a single

application for seeking admission to a particular course in any affiliated college offering the course under the University.

These regulations are made in exercise of the powers provided under Chapter 39 of the Mahatma Gandhi University

Statutes 1997 and Section 25 (ii) & (vi) of Mahatma Gandhi University Act 1985.
