How to register for the Entrance Test:
For registering for the Entrance Test, the candidates should use only the online application
form available at http://online.shivajiuniversity.in
Hall Ticket :
On printing the completed online application form, the hall ticket is also printed alongwith the
online form.
When completing the Entrance Test application form, a candidate need not specify whether
he/she is applying for the M.B.A. (Executive) Distance Mode course or the M.B.A. Distance Mode
course. The choice for the course may be done at the time of the admission counseling and original
documentary proofs (as applicable) of educational qualifications, employment experience and last 2
months salary slips / certificate have to be provided at the time of admission counseling. No
certificates are required when submitting the application form.
Lateral shift from M.B.A. (Executive) Distance mode course to M.B.A. Distance mode course
and vice-versa:
At a later stage, change of course from M.B.A. Distance mode to M.B.A. (Executive) Distance
mode will not be permitted in any case.
Documents required to be attached with the Entrance Test application form:
Other than the duly completed and printed online application form, original certificates
should not be enclosed along with the application form.
Choice of Study Centre and other related information:
Students are also advised that once the student chooses a Study Centre, he/she will not be
allowed a change of Study Centre at a later stage.
Students registered with a particular Study Centre have to submit their internal assignments to
that Study Centre. The internal assignments have to be submitted on or before the due date to the
relevant Study Centre. Submission may be done personally, by post/courier etc. Student is solely
responsible for non-submission, late submission etc.
Merger/Cancellation of a Study Centre:
If a study centre has student enrolment of less than 50% of its sanctioned intake, then at the
discretion of the Centre for Distance Education, Shivaji University that particular study centre may be
merged with another study centre nearby.
Similarly two study centres with low study enrolment may be merged together at the
discretion of the Centre for Distance Education, Shivaji University.
In case of a merger, the students enrolled at the merged study centre would have to submit
their internal assignments and also attend contact sessions at the study centre where they have been
transferred.
However, the Examination centres for the students transferred to another study centre will not be
affected, i.e. the Examination centre chosen by the student and accepted by the Centre for Distance
Education, Shivaji University, at the time of filling the online form will remain valid.
For example, let us assume that the number of students enrolling at the Satara study centre is
low, and hence the Satara study centre is merged with the Sangli study centre. In this case, the
students who had enrolled with the Satara study centre would to attend the contact sessions held at the
4
Sangli study centre and would have to submit his/her assignments to the Sangli study centre.
However, such transferred students’ choice of examination centre would remain unchanged i.e. say
he/she had chosen Satara as the examination centre, then he/she attend the examination centre at
Satara and need not attend the examination at Sangli.
