To ensure all seats in the Central Universities are filled, the University Grants Commission (UGC), today released the standard operating procedures (SOPs). “To keep the seats vacant for an entire academic year is not only a waste of resources but also results in denial of quality higher education to many students who aspire to pursue higher studies in Central Universities,” UGC said.

The UGC in the guidelines reiterated that the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores will remain the primary criteria for admitting students in the central universities. However, students who appeared in CUET, but may or may not have applied to the respective university for the courses or programmes earlier may also be considered.

Also, the universities may consider conducting an entrance examination at its own level or the concerned department of the university may conduct a screening test to fill the vacant seats in the university in case, seats still remain vacant even after exhausting the list of applicants who appeared in CUET.

The university can then admit students on the basis of marks obtained in the qualifying examination.

Further, students who appeared in CUET may be considered irrespective of the domain subject papers in which they appeared, the SOP said adding that the universities can relax the domain subject-specific criteria for admission to a particular course or programme.

The entire admission process, UGC says, has to be based on merit and transparency and the reservation roster shall apply for admission to courses and programmes in all cases.

The universities will have to make sure that the entire admission process is done on time so that no student face any kind of academic loss.
