NEW DELHI, July 13: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked universities to fix their deadline for admission to undergraduate courses after the declaration of CBSE Class 12 results, Chairman Jagadesh Kumar said on July 13.
Noting that some universities
have started their admission process even though the CBSE was yet to declare
the Class 12 results, Mr. Kumar said the CBSE students will be deprived of
admission if the last date is fixed by the universities prior to results
declaration by the board.
“UGC has requested all the
higher educational institutions to fix the last date of their undergraduate
admission process after declaration of result of Class 12 by CBSE so as to provide
sufficient time to such students for admission in undergraduate courses,” he
said.
The move comes after the
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) last week reached out to the
commission requesting it to ask universities to fix their admission schedule in
accordance with their results.
“It has come to the notice
that some universities have started registration in undergraduate courses for
the session 2022-23. In this scenario, the students of CBSE will be deprived of
admission if the last date is fixed by the universities prior to CBSE results
declaration,” the UGC said in a letter to vice-chancellors.
“It is, therefore, requested
that all higher education institutions fix the last date of admission to
undergraduate courses after the declaration of CBSE results to provide
sufficient time to such candidates,” it added.
The CBSE is likely to declare the board exam results by month-end. The board exam schedule was delayed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (Agencies)
