West Bengal University Admissions 2022: Centralised online system scrapped for UG courses
The West Bengal government has announced that it has decided to not put a centralised online admission system for undergraduate courses and to continue with the earlier process of students applying to colleges.
After holding a meeting with the vice-chancellors of state-run universities, the West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu informed that the admission process to the undergraduate courses will remain the same as in the pre-covid time when students have to apply for a seat at a particular college. After this, the respective higher education institution use to decide on the basis of their admission criteria and seat availability.
Basu said "the VCs told him that the infrastructure is not yet ready to have an online centralised admission portal immediately. As per the now scrapped new system, one could log in and apply, based on the marks obtained by him at plus two board level sitting at home through the centralised online admission portal."
"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," the minister added.
The West Bengal Education Minister had earlier this month announced that candidates from this academic year will be able to apply for admission based on the marks scored in higher secondary or other plus-two-level board exams through the centralised online admission portal.
