Students can register by entering their basic details such as name, address, and Aadhaar number on the official admission portal, which will also be announced shortly by the government. After completing this initial step, they can select their preferred junior colleges through the same online system.

The admission will take place in four regular rounds, followed by a special ‘Open Admission for All’ round to fill remaining vacant seats. The last round will be strictly based on merit. The government has made it clear that no admissions would be allowed outside the online system, ruling out manual or management quota entries.

Classes at junior colleges will commence after the first four rounds of admission are completed. The divisional deputy directors of education will oversee the process and issue necessary instructions to higher secondary schools and colleges.
