The Centralised Admission Policy (CAP) 2011 Committee announced the placement results of the Humanities (female) Group on Sunday.
“The process of issuing placement results for class XI has been completed with the announcement of the Humanities list,” said CAP Committee chairman and Colleges (Sindh) director general, Professor Dr Nasir Ansar while announcing the results. A total of 7,624 admissions have been granted to female students in 60 educational institutions of the city.
As compared to last year, 4,342 more admissions have been given in 2011 and 78,170 total placements were made this year whereas, 73,688 students took admissions in various faculties in class XI in 2010. There were 100,420 seats available in Computer Science (male and female), Home Economics (female only), Pre-Engineering (male and female), Pre-Medical (male and female), Commerce (male and female) and Humanities (male and female) in public-run colleges and government and private higher secondary schools (HSSs).
“Approximately 2,300 forms were rejected by the CAP Committee this year. Most of the forms were rejected as candidates, with a gap of more than five years, were seeking admissions and a number of students could not clear their matriculation examinations, said Professor Ansar. “Students, after passing their supplementary exams of matriculation, would be able to get admissions in class XI. However, such candidates would only get admissions in Computer Science and Pre-Engineering if, they get no less than 50 percent result,” he added.
The CAP Committee 2011 allowed principals and in-charges of 32 colleges and government HSSs to accommodate students if seats are still available in any disciplines in class XI for the academic session 2011-12. Meanwhile, admissions would be subject to the condition that a student is eligible for admission.
“It was observed that many students just fill the name of one college in their placement form rather than suggesting other colleges as alternate options. There were left out due to the difference between the percentage obtained and the closing percentage of that particular college. In such cases, CAP Committee has given admissions according to their residential address, Dr Ansar explained..
“After reviewing this problem, the CAP Committee has decided that guiding centres would be established from next year for the counselling of the students,” he added.
