Keeping in mind the current situation, the university has asked students to submit a declaration form along with their pre-admission registration form to the allotted college in order to confirm their admissions. The colleges, in turn, have been asked to give provisional admission to students and confirm the same after the applicant submits a hard copy of the mark-sheet and all other necessary documents later.

“All colleges shall provide an online system in order to avoid the physical presence of students. Colleges in Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Palghar, where an online system is difficult to implement, can ask students to visit the college campus, provided they ensure social distancing norms are adhered to,” said a statement released by the university on Tuesday.

While the pre-admission registration process is already underway, applicants have till August 4 to complete this process, following which the first merit list will be announced at 7pm.

While the university is positive that admissions will be conducted smoothly, colleges are worried about the chaos that will ensue once students start submitting hard copies of original documents for admission confirmation. “Every year, several students don’t get admission in quotas because they don’t have appropriate documents to support themselves. This year, if we give provisional admission without checking documents, many students might end up losing the seat when they finally have to submit documents. The university needs to address this problem,” said the principal of a suburban college.
