Entrance for UoP’s M Tech -Aviation course today

Pune: Around 150 candidates will appear for Sunday’s maiden entrance exam for University of Pune’s (UoP) newly introduced M Tech -Aviation course. The exam will be held simultaneously in Bangalore, Kolkata and Delhi besides Pune.

Speaking to Newsline, Aditya Abhyankar, dean of UoP’s faculty of technology, said, the entrance exam has received a good response. “We initially received around 350 applications but the number declined later in the wake of the fall of Indian rupee. Nevertheless, the course has evoked a good response for around 24 seats in the first batch,” he said. He added that there might be more takers during the second phase of admissions, scheduled in next few months.
Candidates selected for the programme need to pay Indian rupees equivalent to 5,000 Euros to UoP upon getting admission, and 70,000 Euros to Germany-based flying institute Fachschule fur Luftfahrzeugfuhrer (FFL).
