Punjab Introduced Centralised Admission Portal for Admission to Govt Colleges


New Delhi: Punjab Government’s State Department of Governance Reforms (DoGR) in collaboration with the Department of Higher Education (DHE) has launched the centralised admission portal, admission.punjab.gov.in.

The centralised admission portal of Punjab will act as a hub for admission to different colleges through a single application form for multiple colleges. It has been launched at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA), Chandigarh. 

Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Punjab Minister for Higher Education, said the state government was working to ensure that candidates get the latest online services to make their education and studies-related ventures easier and more efficient. 

The minister further added that this method will ensure fulsome transparency and ease adding more such measures. The portal has been introduced for admission to government colleges in the state affiliated with Chandigarh’s Panjab University, Punjabi University in Patiala, and Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar.

“The DoGR with the assistance of DHE has made the state admission portal for the current session (2022-23). Further DoGR has roped in PayGov India (Payment Gateway Partner) to facilitate digital mode of fee collection from students and its reconciliation,” he added.

“The portal will ensure a contactless admissions process without physical counselling. The fee payment system will be online. It will also ensure ease of communication with students. Application Manager allows colleges to communicate with applicants directly via an email or individual/bulk SMS or a call to complete the form or remove the objections or make the fee payment etc. There will be total transparency in preparing the merit list and students will be able to see the admission process online in a transparent manner,” said a statement from the state higher education department.
