The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday directed all higher educational institutions (HEIs) to fix the last date of undergraduate admission process after the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) declares Class 12 results, so that no student is deprived of admissions.
In a letter addressed to Vice-Chancellors, Principals and Directors, the higher education regulator said it will provide sufficient time to CBSE students, who are awaiting their result, for admission in undergraduate (UG) courses.
This comes after the CBSE approached the UGC on June 28 stating that the deadline for registration in undergraduate courses in some universities would end in the first week of July.

“As you are aware, the CBSE conducted Board Examination in two terms i.e term-l and term-II to nullify the impact of COVID. The performance of term-l has already been communicated to the schools. The evaluation of term-II is going on and process of result preparation will start. The final result will be declared by combining the weight age based on the performance of both the terms. The entire process will take about a month period for the declaration of the result,” the UGC said in its latest notice.
The higher education regulator said it has come to the notice that some universities have started registration in undergraduate courses for the session (2022-2023).
In this scenario, the students from CBSE will be deprived of admission in the undergraduate courses if the last date is fixed by the universities prior to CBSE result declaration.
“It is therefore requested that all the higher educational institutions may fix the last date of their undergraduate admission process after declaration of result of class XII by CBSE so as to provide sufficient time to such students for admission in undergraduate courses,” the UGC added.
As per reports, CBSE is likely to declare term 2 and final results of Class 10 and Class 12 students by the last week of July.
