New Delhi, June 11
The UGC has taken a policy decision to allow higher education institutions to admit students twice a year, from the next academic year. Currently, UGC Regulations allow admissions in one academic session in a year.
UGC Chairman, Professor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar said, this will benefit many students, such as those who missed admission due to a delay in the announcement of board results, health issues, or personal reasons. He said, biannual university admissions will help students maintain motivation since they do not have to wait one full year to be admitted if they miss admission in the current cycle.
