Bhubaneswar: The Sambalpur University has launches the program to revive its dying post graduate (PG) departments and at the same time admit more students in different courses.

Under the new system called the application transfer arrangement, if a student is not selected for the PG course for which he/she applied, depending on eligibility, the student will be "pursuaded" to take admission in some other course where seats are lying empty.

However departments like statistics, anthropology, food technology, home science, bioinformatics and electronics subject generally receive very few applications.
