Indian Universities To Now Offer Admissions Twice A Year, As Done Globally

Indian universities and higher education institutions will now be permitted to offer admissions twice a year, similar to foreign universities, following approval from the University Grants Commission, UGC chief Jagadesh Kumar said.

From the 2024-25 academic session, the two admission cycles will be in July-August and January-February.

“If Indian universities can offer admission twice a year, it will benefit many students such as those who missed admission to a university in the July-August session due to a delay in the announcement of board results, health issues, or personal reasons,” Kumar said.
