Several students have complained that because colleges/universities no longer make their cut-offs public, they are caught off guard when applying for admission to central universities (CU). However, M Jagadesh Kumar, the Chief of the University Grants Commission (UGC), stated that a scheme for uniform counselling is in the works.
M Jagadesh Kumar said, "Next year, we may come up with common counselling for all the central universities.”
The CUET common counselling process will function almost in a similar manner to the way IITs conduct JEE (JoSAA) counselling for admission in IITs and NITs. “In that case, you (students) need to apply only on a single portal and give your choice of different universities for admission,” Kumar explained.
With this common counselling system, UGC is hoping to streamline the UG admission process. “Once that is launched, the admission process in the central universities will be much more streamlined and it will be easier for students to apply,” he said.
The portal is still being developed, and the UGC will provide further information as soon as possible. A group comprised of representatives from many central universities will oversee the counseling procedure.
“This will make the admission process much easier for students and there is a very little chance of seats going vacant, and students can appear for multiple universities,” Kumar added.
When asked about the current college allotment and the allegation of students being left blindsided in the process, UGC Chief assured that the authorities have tried to keep the process “completely transparent, and we try that students should know which college and course they have been allotted.”
