New Delhi: Education Minister Bratya Basu told reporters after a meeting with vice-chancellors of state-run universities that the admission process to the UG would be the same as in pre-covid time.
On Tuesday the West Bengal Government declared that it has reversed the decision of the Higher Education department to put up a centralised online admission system for undergraduate courses this year. The Government has decided to go back to the earlier process of students applying to colleges.
The Education Minister Bratya Basu has reported after a meeting with the vice-chancellor of state-run universities that the admission process would be as same as it was in the pre-covid era. A student would have to apply for a seat at a particular college and the respective higher educational institutions will take the decision based on their admission criteria and availability of seats.
He said, “The VCs said the covid situation and the resultant lockdown made it difficult for them to firm up a centralised admission online to UG courses in their affiliated colleges immediately as the admission season is set to begin soon. We will certainly roll it out by next year.”
