Seats vacant, edu authorities reopen portal for admissions in colleges
Rohtak, August 20
For those who could not take admissions to undergraduate (UG)/postgraduate (PG) courses due to some reason, the Department of Higher Education (DHE) has decided to reopen the portal for admissions to first, second and third year for courses at government, aided, private and self-financing colleges across the state for 10 days from August 21 to 30.
The decision has been taken while keeping in view various requests received from different colleges and students in this respect as a considerable number of seats are lying vacant in these colleges.
“This is for the fourth time in this academic session when the admission portal has been opened for the admissions. The session started from July 1 and initially, the portal was opened in June to invite applications online for admissions to various UG/PG programmes in the colleges,” said Dayanand Malik, President of Government-aided Private College Teachers’ Association.
He claimed that around 40 per cent of the seats were lying vacant in science and arts streams in a considerable number of colleges in the state due to multiple reasons. Heavy rush of students in coaching centres for preparation of competitive exams was also one of the reasons as students joined such centres after taking admissions in Arts stream, he said.
Malik said that seats were lying vacant especially in colleges located in rural areas. That’s why the colleges had sent requests to the DHE for opening the admission portal again. Now, those students who could not take admissions in the colleges due to any reason would be able to apply online till August 30, he said.
