In a first, Ballari varsity launches online admission portal

BALLARI: In a bid to help students take virtual admission, Vijayanagar Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Ballari (VSKUB) has launched an online portal for PG admissions.
Now, students living in distant places can easily log in to the portal and apply for their choice of PG course without coming to the college. They will also be given detailed information of seats available in different streams and other details.
Vice chancellor Siddu P Alagur told TOI, “We have launched the online admission portal to ensure the safety of students during the pandemic.Ours is the first university in the state to offer online admission and the process has begun.”
“The online admission is open for all 26 PG courses. Interested students need to register their names in the portal. Once registered, they are allowed to fill an online application of their choice of course. This portal is very user-friendly. Students who have completed their degrees in our university’s affiliated colleges need not worry about uploading their marks cards as we have stored their data. Students from other universities have to upload their marks card and other details while filing the application,” he added.
“The last date to fill the application is October 23. We will announce a merit list on October 26 after doing a mock drill of allotment of seats and the final first list of merit students will be announced on October 28. The process of online payment begins after students accept the seat allotted to them,” said Alagur.
This portal has been designed on the lines of sites developed to allot engineering and medical seats across the state.
Alagur said more than 1,500 students have registered for admission in the last four days. “We are also planning to introduce a similar system for admission in our affiliated degree colleges,” he added.
