Admission to the faculty

Admission of students to undergraduate courses in university is done by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The policies, procedures and requirements for the admission of students to universities each year are determined by the UGC in keeping with the admission policy of the Government. Applications from eligible candidates on forms provided for this purpose are invited by the UGC through notice published in the newspapers. Details relating to admission for each year may be obtained from the "Rules relating to Admission to Undergraduate Courses in Universities", published by the UGC annually. The UGC is the sole authority which decides to which university students are assigned and to what courses of studies they are admitted.

Admission of students to courses other than undergraduate programs is by the university concerned. Such courses may be Certificate, Diploma or Post-Graduate courses of studies provided by the individual universities with the concurrence of the UGC.
