New Delhi. UGC has brought a very big gift for degree college and university students. Now students will get a chance to take admission twice a year. After this decision, those students will get relief who due to some reason are not able to take admission at the beginning of the new academic session. Now such students will not have to wait for a year for admission. Higher educational institutions will give admission opportunity to students in January-February also after July-August. This important decision of UGC will be implemented from the academic session 2024-25 i.e. this year.
Giving information about this, UGC Chairman M. Jagadeesh Kumar said that universities will now have the freedom to give admission to students twice a year. This will benefit many students and their year will be saved from being wasted. UGC Chairman said that sometimes the result of some board exams is released late. Due to this, many students are unable to take admission in universities in the academic session starting from July-August. At the same time, some students miss admission due to health problems or some other personal reasons, in such a situation they have to wait for a whole year, but now with the implementation of this scheme, the students who are unable to take admission will get relief and they will get a chance to get admission in the second session of the same year.
He said that there are many universities across the world where the process of admission twice is applicable. In such a situation, Indian higher education institutions will also be able to match the standards of education at the global level by adopting the admission process twice a year. However, he also clarified that it will not be mandatory for every university to implement this decision.
