Meanwhile, SCD Govt College conducted online counselling for BSc non-medical 1 course
Despite Government College for Girls (GCG) conducting counselling online amid the Covid-19 pandemic, many students and their parents gathered outside the college to inquire about the process.
The college authorities conducted the counselling for bachelor of arts I course on Friday in which 1,634 candidates applied online against 480 seats. As many as 422 seats were filled, 40 are pending as candidates have not uploaded the required documents and 18 are vacant.
In general category, 231 students got admission and the cut off went as high as 92.67%. Last year, in the same category, the cut off was 85.5%.
In SC category, 103 seats were filled with the cut off at 85.1% while in other backward classes category, 37 students have been admitted with an 88% cut off. The counselling process for this course will continue on August 17 and 18.
Associate professor Pawan Kumar from GCG, said “This year, the cut off was higher by 7.17% in general category. We have informed candidates to upload the required documents as many of them have not upload affidavits due to which many admissions have been kept pending.”
The students have been given two-day time to deposit the fee online and if seats are left vacant, these will be allotted to the next candidate as per rank list.
Simranpreet Kaur, a student who scored 90.8% in Class 12 said, “I was expecting a seat in GCG, but when I contacted the authorities, they said the cut off in general category went up to 92.67%. I was shocked that even after scoring above 90% in Class 12, I was not able to grab a seat in BA.”
