Speak Now
West Bengal undergraduate admission portal launched on Thursday in order to streamline the process. Talking to reporters, the Education Minister, Bratya Basu, following a meeting with vice-chancellors (VCs) of state universities, said a candidate can now apply for admission based on the marks secured in higher secondary or other plus-two-level board exams.
A student can also state his choice of college in the application, and the request will be considered, the minister explained. Asked if the varsities would be conducting online exams this time, given that a section of students had long been agitating for the same, Basu said, “We will leave the decision to the respective institutions. They have autonomy. We will not interfere. “However, we are in favour of transparency in the exam system.”
One of the VCs, who had attended the meeting, later said that he and his counterparts in other universities “conveyed to the minister our readiness to implement the new system for admission to UG courses”. “We will ratify the decision at our executive body meeting by this week,” he said.
