Students’ Speak: What if you don’t get admission to your desired law college
By: Nishtha
Things may get confusing after you clear the entrance exam but no worries. I will try to explain to you the procedure which follows after the Indraprastha University Common Entrance Test (IPU CET) results are out.
As soon as the results come out, you can check them on IP University’s website by entering your roll number and pre-decided password. You will score a rank on the basis of which you will land into a college for which a cut off is released during the counseling procedure. What goes on during the counseling is that a list is released in which the cut-off of each college is listed for different categories such as Delhi General, Outside Delhi General, Delhi and outside Delhi, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Class (OBC), Physically handicapped, Army, etc. The cut-off is basically in the bracket of those ranks which can take admission to those colleges. The counseling takes place in various rounds until the seats get filled. If your rank falls in the cut-off of a particular college you can freeze your seat and then after payment of preliminary fees, complete the admission procedure as and when the college notifies.
However, if you do not get the college of your wish, you can always wait for the next round of counseling, there are many rounds till the seats get filled and the cut-offs do get relaxed by the end so that would not be an issue.
But even after all the counseling rounds you are not able to get the college you can either try next year but I would suggest you take admission to the next best college of your choice, work hard in the first year and opt for migration to your desired college. I have seen many people migrate from other colleges to my college (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) in the second year. This could be an option too, however, for migration you need a required percentage as prescribed by the college or the university to this effect. Although it doesn’t really matter in which college you study as long as you are a determined student and are going to work hard to achieve your future goals but it’s all about choice sometimes.
