In a first, Goa University will now hold its GU-ART (Admission Ranking Test) to Masters Programmes for the 2019-20 academic year in January 2019, a good six months before the Masters’ courses actually commences.
In a notification issued on the University website by the registrar Y V Reddy, it is informed that admissions to the post-graduate programmes at the university departments and affiliated colleges for the next academic year will be entirely based on the GU-ART to be conducted by GU.
“The marks percentage obtained by the students while graduating would only be used to ascertain the eligibility of candidates to appear for the GU-ART. The purpose of the GU-ART is only to rank the prospective students and not for determination of pass/ fail. Candidates pursuing their final-year graduation are eligible to apply,” reads the notification. The Schedule for the GU-ART will be as follows:
GU-ART Round I “ January 13, 20, 27 of 2019, and February 3, 2019; GU-ART Round II “ March 20, 2019 (if seats are vacant); GU-ART Round III “ June 10, 2019 (if seats are vacant).
Seats shall be allotted to candidates based on their performance in the first round of GU-ART. For programmes offered at both the university as well as the affiliated colleges, seats shall be allotted through counselling to be held at GU.
The second round of GU-ART will be held in the university departments to fill seats which remain vacant after the first round of admissions including reserved category seats. Reserved category seats remaining vacant after the first list of the second round will be transferred to the general category. Candidates shall be permitted to apply for a maximum of three subjects/specializations only.
The GU-ART will be based on the Semester I-IV syllabus of the degree programme of Goa University in the respective subject. Those programmes which admit candidates from across the disciplines such as MA International Relations, Women’s Studies, MCA., MSc. in Biotechnology, Marine Science, Biochemistry and other such programmes, the test shall be based on general knowledge, analytical ability, logical reasoning and the specific subject syllabus, where applicable.
Details of the syllabus for the GU-ART in the various subjects is available on the Goa University website www.unigoa.ac.in
A single ranking test shall be conducted for admission to MSc programme in Marine Microbiology and Microbiology.
