Punjab Centralised Admission Portal for Admissions to all Govt Colleges
The Punjab government has launched a centralised admission portal for admissions to government colleges in the state affiliated with Chandigarh’s Panjab University, Punjabi University in Patiala, and Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar.
Punjab Minister for Higher Education Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer who launched the portal at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA), Chandigarh, said the state government was working to ensure that today's youth get the latest online services to make their education and studies related endeavours easier and efficient.
Developed by the state Department of Governance Reforms (DoGR) in collaboration with the Department of Higher Education (DHE), the centralised state admission portal – admission.punjab.gov.in will ensure full transparency and ease. More such education reforms are in the pipeline, said the Minister.
The DoGR with the assistance of DHE has made the state admission portal for the current session (2022-23). Also, DoGR has roped in PayGov India (Payment Gateway Partner) to facilitate digital mode of fee collection from students and its reconciliation.
With the launch of admission.punjab.gov.in portal, the common admission platform will serve as a central hub for applicants for their end-to-end admission journey and students will be able to file a single application form to apply for admission to multiple colleges and courses.
Higher education department, Punjab said that “The portal will ensure a contactless admissions process without physical counselling. The fee payment system will be completely online. Students could be communicated easily via an email or individual/bulk SMS or a call to complete the form or remove the objections or make the fee payment etc. Students will be able to see the admission process online in a transparent manner and so does in preparing the merit list.
