Veer Narmad South Gujarat University
SURAT: Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) will open for students from Thursday. Currently, only teaching and non-teaching staff is attending the university. Affiliated colleges of VNSGU across south Gujarat too will reopen on Thursday.
“The university departments will start operating with existing students, while colleges have been instructed to start functioning with 50% of students. Since admissions are yet to begin, the number of students are less in university and colleges,” said K N Chavda, vice-chancellor, VNSGU.

SURAT: Department of Bioscience of Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) is likely to get a genome sequencing facility especially to test Covid-19 variants.
VNSGU officials claimed that they are yet to receive any confirmation, but the university’s department’s name has been declared as a possible centre by the Department of Science and Technology of the central government.
“We are yet to receive any official confirmation from the approving agency. We do not have the kit that is required for the sequencing. But we were informed informally that our name is being considered for a genome sequencing laboratory,” said a senior teacher at the department of bioscience.
SURAT: Mired in several controversies during the past three years due to internal politics, the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) is now on an image makeover drive using social media.
A team of 40 students has been hired by the university and they are being paid on hourly basis to create awareness about the university on various social media platforms. The team reports directly to the vice-chancellor KN Chavda and its members are paid Rs 65 to Rs 100 per hour on the basis of their education and work profile. For the first time the university is focusing on building its image on social media since the social media platforms gained prominence.

SURAT/ VADODARA: Mehul Kumar, a BCom student, had convinced his topper friend to appear in online exams on his behalf. But minutes after his friend started answering questions, he was immediately identified.
Another student who thought a prompter sitting beside him will help in crack the online exams too failed miserably.
Nearly 500 such copycats have been caught adopting unfair means while appearing in online exams of various undergraduate and postgraduate courses of Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) that began on June 26.
These students were simply not aware that their images are being clicked, videos being recorded by the devices which they thought would give them a lot of leeway to cheat. Based on this suspicious conduct, VNSGU has registered cases against these students which are being reviewed by a fact-finding panel.
