PRSU reopens PhD admissions for newly qualified UGC NET candidates
Prayagraj: Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) State University has reopened applications for PhD admissions to include candidates who recently qualified for the UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) 2025. The decision was officially made on July 28, and a fresh notification was issued by registrar Sanjay Kumar on Monday, announcing that the new deadline for PhD applications is now August 8. Previously, the last date to apply was July 26. The move comes after several candidates approached the university administration requesting another opportunity to apply. These students were awaiting the results of the UGC NET exam, which was declared on July 21. As a result, they were unable to submit their applications during the initial window. Responding to this concern, the university allowed all newly qualified NET candidates to apply for PhD programmes. The university has also made it clear that PhD admissions will be granted strictly on the basis of the UGC NET 2025 score. No separate entrance exam will be conducted, ensuring a streamlined and merit-based selection process. This decision is expected to benefit hundreds of research aspirants who have long awaited an opportunity to pursue doctoral studies.

PRSU introduces dual degree provision for meritorious UG students
Prayagraj: Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) State University (PRSU) has introduced a new provision allowing meritorious undergraduate students to obtain dual degrees simultaneously from the academic session 2025-26. Under this system, students enrolled in the four-year undergraduate programme will be eligible to receive both a Bachelor's Honours degree and an Honours with Research degree in the final year, provided they meet the required academic criteria. The university has clarified this dual degree opportunity will only be available to students who secured 75% or more marks in each of the first three years of their undergraduate programme. Eligible students will select a research-based subject and complete a research project in their final year. This is seen as a significant step towards preparing students for research-focused postgraduate education and building a strong academic foundation early in their careers. The policy will directly impact students currently enrolled in 703 colleges affiliated with the university across Prayagraj, Pratapgarh, Kaushambi and Fatehpur districts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo In addition to the dual degree provision, the university has taken another student-friendly step by enabling all undergraduate and postgraduate students to access their mark sheets and certificates online via the university's official website.

BSc students at PRSU can now study Sanskrit
Students enrolled in Bachelor of Science (BSc) programme at colleges affiliated with Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) State University, Prayagraj will now have the option to study traditional subjects like Sanskrit alongside their core science subjects. PRSU campus in Prayagraj (HT File photo) According to university officials, this initiative is part of the recently implemented National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which seeks to offer students multidisciplinary learning opportunities and improve their employability. Previously, undergraduate students in these affiliated colleges were required to study three subjects within a single faculty or stream. Under the new system, students must now study two major subjects along with one minor subject from a different faculty, shared officials. For example, science students can opt for humanities subjects such as Sanskrit, Political Science, or Economics as their minor—provided that the chosen minor is offered by their college, explained the officials. Confirming the move, PRSU vice-chancellor Prof Akhilesh Kumar Singh said that the minor subject will be studied during the first two years of the undergraduate programme. In the third year, students will focus solely on their two major subjects, he added. A bachelor's degree will be awarded after three years of study. In the fourth year, students will specialise in one of their major subjects and will earn a bachelor's (Honours) degree. Those who score over 75% in all three years will be eligible for an 'Honours with Research' track, and upon completing the fifth year, they will also receive a postgraduate degree, he explained. Formerly known as Allahabad State University, PRSU was established in 2016. It has around 717 affiliated colleges, including Prayagraj (383), Kaushambi (78), Fatehpur (82) and Pratapgarh (174). These include government-run, government-aided and self-financed colleges.
