Students get another chance for admission into Plus III

Bhubaneswar: In a big relief to ‘slide-up’ students or those not able to take admission into Plus III courses, Odisha government today issued a fresh notification on extending dates of admission.

Students who had slid-up to higher option but not taken admission during the scheduled period will be allowed to take admission in the higher preference college where selected on October 6 and 7, a letter by Higher Education department Joint Secretary B Parameswaram stated.

Similarly students who have not applied online or taken admission in any of the colleges or even taken admission in a particular college but wish to continue in another college can also take admission between October 9 and 11, the notification said.

If no vacancies exist to accommodate ‘slide up’ students, the college can create more seats above the sanctioned strength for this academic year only.

The notification also said students are directed to go to the choice of their college and apply on offline mode. Admission will be done purely on merit basis as there will be no special weightage or reservation in this phase.

Students who have applied through online Common Application Form (CAF) can submit photocopy of their applicant copy and marksheet.

The merit list of selected students will be displayed on college notice boards on October 11 and admission completed by October 14.
