Presidency University will conduct its undergraduate admissions independently, ending its decade-old arrangement with the state JEE board. ADVERTISEMENTUntil last year, the JEE board conducted the admission tests and counselling for undergraduate programmes on behalf of Presidency, a system that began in 2015. Presidency teachers have expressed concerns over the JEE board-led system, alleging that it diluted the university’s academic standards. The three autonomous colleges under the Ramakrishna Mission also hold their own admission tests. “Getting test centres for departments that want to hold their own admission tests should not be much of a problem,” the teacher said.
