Results of the entrance test for the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) course has failed to improve at Gujarat University. As much as 70 percent of the students who appeared in the test failed this year. Complying with the norms of University Grants Commission (UGC), Gujarat Universityconducted the admission test for 300 seats of MPhil programme in July. While more than 600 students appeared in the test for various subjects, only 30 percent of examinees cleared the test. Apart from Gujarati, other subjects like Sanskrit, Hindi and English had very few students clearing the test. While 34 students appeared in Sanskrit, only 2 students passed the test. Similarly out of 44 students who gave the test only 1 student passed the test and in Hindi 10 students out of 15 cleared the test in Hindi. However students fared well in Gujarati. Out of 26 students who gave the test for Gujarati, 24 students cleared the test. A student who could clear the test said, "The University has not arranged for any mock test and the format of the test was new to us. Moreover we found the questions tough to understand as the logical and reasoning sections were in English." The test of 120 marks included a section worth 40 marks related to the students' area of specialization. The other sections were on logic and reasoning. Gujarat University faced a similar situation where many students failed in the test last year as well.
