3. Acceptance Process:

Important Details
- The centralised admissions process started on June 24 and includes 16 state universities and 461 government and government-aided colleges.
- Students can apply for up to 25 undergraduate courses among 7,217 distinct courses.
- Presidency University, Jadavpur University, and several autonomous and minority colleges are exempt from the system, as clarified by West Bengal’s Education Minister Bratya Basu.
- The common admission process aims to eliminate the issue of students with outstanding grades being admitted to multiple universities simultaneously, which results in many seats being left vacant. With the centralised approach, one candidate will be offered only one seat at a time based on their merit, with the possibility of a better opportunity if a vacancy arises elsewhere.
