Two Kolkata colleges start under graduate admission process

KOLKATA: Two Kolkata colleges have initiated the admission process to under graduate courses for 2021 academic session by informing students when they can expect to fill up the forms online in different subjects.
Other colleges who are ready with their plans are waiting for the various boards to announce their criteria for assessing the students of class XII after which they are scheduled to open their admission portals.
CBSE, ISC and West Bengal Council for Higher Secondary Education have cancelled their Class-XII board examinations and will assess the students on different criteria.
J D Birla Institute, affiliated to Jadavpur University, has announced, that notification and online applications will begin by the first week of July. “The interested candidates should check the college’s website for the necessary announcements. All the details regarding the admissions will be shared with students,” said Deepali Singhee, principal of the college.
The college has decided to hold online interactions with applicants in some subjects to assess their aptitude for the subject that have applied. The entire process will be online due to pandemic. On-campus classes have been suspended since March last year to prevent the spread of the virus. Admissions will be conducted online.
The Bhawanipur Education Society College, too, has decided to start the process immediately after the boards declare the assessments for Class-XII students. “Since it will be completely online, interested candidates must follow the college’s website regularly,” said an official.
Most Calcutta University affiliated colleges are waiting for notification from the university.
Entrance exams for admission to UG courses in Presidency University are scheduled in August.
