At an emergency
meeting held in Allahabad University on May 11, a decision was taken on holding
the entrance exams in the university in both online and offline modes. This
will be applicable for admissions in 2016-2017.
More on the entrance examination (AU):
- The union ministry of human resource development
stated that it received a letter from the Allahabad University that said
it had no objection to the offline option for the exams
- The process for admission shall only be online from
2017-2018
- The undergraduate courses will have their entrances
as per the announced schedule, i.e. on May 25, 2016 and May 26, 2016
- Dates for post graduate entrances will be announced

The controversy:
- The Allahabad University vice-chancellor, RL Hangloo
had threatened to quit along with stating that there was immense political
interference in the administrative machinery of AU
- He sarcastically also proposed for MPs and MLAs to
take over as the V-C
- Hangloo was rather disappointed with the working of
administration in AU and said that he would rather return to his parent
institute (Hyderabad University). He termed politics as the main hurdle
- On Wednesday, May 11, Smriti Irani, in a political
discourse with Samajwadi Party's MP in the Rajya Sabha accused the party
of unnecessary intervention in the administrative issues
- According to Irani, the HRD ministry received a
letter of threat from the university
