Chaudhary Bansi Lal University in Bhiwani has made a key change to its admission rules. The university will now allow students who have a reappear — also called a compartment — in a single subject to apply for vacant seats in its postgraduate (PG) and undergraduate (UG) programmes.
This decision is aimed at filling seats that remain empty after the regular admission process is complete. The university believes this move will help both students who missed out on admission and the institution itself.
Open Counselling for Vacant PG Seats on July 28
The university has also announced an open counselling session for vacant PG seats on July 28. If seats still remain unfilled after this counselling, admissions will continue through open counselling until August 10.
According to Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, the admission rules were amended to permit students with a reappear in a single subject to secure admission against vacant seats, provided no eligible applicants are on the waiting list.
Officials Explain the Benefit of the New Rule
Prof Sunita Bharatwal, Dean of Academic Affairs, and Prof Surender Kaushik, Chairman of the Admission Committee, said the university had amended its admission rules to make this possible. They stated that the move would benefit both students and the university.
For students, it means a second chance to get into a programme they want. For the university, it helps fill seats that would otherwise stay empty. The condition is clear: this option is only available if there are no eligible applicants already on the waiting list.
Our Take: A Practical Move That Helps Everyone
In our view, this is a sensible decision from Chaudhary Bansi Lal University. Many students with a single reappear often lose out on admission opportunities even though they are otherwise qualified. By allowing them to fill vacant seats, the university is making the system more flexible and fair.
At the same time, the condition that this only applies when no waiting list candidates exist ensures that students who have passed all subjects are not pushed aside. This balance is important. The open counselling process also gives transparency to the admission process. We believe other universities facing similar vacancy issues could learn from this approach.
