BBAU starts UG admissions based on CUET
After registration, the university will declare the cut-offs for admissions.
"The merit list for the unreserved category seats will comprise all candidates in the order of merit, including candidates under the reserved category if they come in the unreserved merit. A candidate under the reserved category, who figures in the unreserved merit list, will be considered for admission under the unreserved category. Admission to open category seats will be in the order of merit without excluding candidates belonging to the reserved category," said BBAU admission chairperson Amit Kumar Singh.
Reservation policy for admission will be as per the provisions of the academic ordinance which states that 50% of the seats will be reserved for SC/ST students and 10% of seats for economically weaker sections.

Engineering aspirants in West Bengal face uncertain future over delay in W.B. entrance test results
Students who appeared for the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations (WBJEE) this year for undergraduate engineering, technology, architecture, and pharmacy courses in State-run and State-aided universities are facing an uncertain future amidst an indefinite delay in the declaration of results. 'The examination took place on April 27 this year. In other years, we had seen that results were usually declared within six weeks. However, it has been three months since the examination was conducted this year. We have no clue when we can expect results, and when the admission process will begin,' 18-year-old Sparsha Sengupta told The Hindu. Like many other engineering aspirants in the State, Ms. Sengupta had also appeared for JEE-Mains. Still, she was more focused on preparing for WBJEE examinations because she wanted to enrol in the engineering department in a university in West Bengal, she said. A recent Class 12 graduate of Delhi Public School, Ruby Park, her dream was to study engineering at Jadavpur University. 'Our future relies entirely on WBJEE results. We are growing increasingly anxious and stressed over this prolonged uncertainty about the results and about when we can start college this year. We also fear losing opportunities in parallel counselling processes like JEE, CUET and falling behind students who enrolled in colleges based on other entrance examinations,' she said. Ms. Sengupta and 169 other worried WBJEE examinees on July 24 started the WBJEE Students Forum. The students claim they have approached the WBJEE Board and the Department of Education multiple times, but to no avail. As most of them opted out of college enrolments through other entrance examinations, they are also worried about having to take a drop year if admissions are indefinitely delayed. 'The situation is extremely tense at home. I got into BSc Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, but as a family, we had decided not to enrol there because my dream is to study engineering. The admission deadline there passed a few days back. Meanwhile, there is no sign of when WBJEE will publish results, and when admissions will begin,' said Shithan Roy, 17. He added that the lack of communication from the WBJEE Board on the delay has added to his worries. 'I am wondering if letting go of IIT was the right decision,' he adds. Professors of State-run universities that admit students based on WBJEE results also expressed apprehensions over losing out on the brightest students, who they fear have enrolled in universities in other States. President of the Jadavpur University Teachers' Association (JUTA) Partha Pratim Biswas said that the delay in publishing results is being caused by the matter concerning reservation for OBC candidates, which is being heard by the Supreme Court. 'The best students from this year will most likely take admission in universities outside West Bengal. Losing out on the bright aspirants will have a significant impact on the institute as a whole, including future placements, its research projects, and its postgraduate departments,' Professor Biswas said. He added that delayed admissions will also have an adverse influence on the incoming batch of students who would start their course with a major backlog as a result of being behind the national calendar. He also expressed apprehensions over whether admissions 'will conclude before Christmas' this year. Professor Biswas also highlighted that deprived and socioeconomically disadvantaged students rely on State-run educational institutes because they cannot afford admission in private colleges. 'Due to the delay in results, the State government and the government-affiliated colleges and universities have not started admissions. But it is surprising to see that many private educational institutions in the State have started their admission process in various ways. Students who are worried about their future are paying massive amounts of money to secure a seat in engineering departments,' JUTA also highlighted in an open letter to guardians of aspirants.

Why small-town students are no longer putting all their eggs in one exam basket
CUET, UPSC, NEET, or JEE? How aspirations are changing in small-town IndiaIn small-town India, ambition hasn't dimmed-it's just getting more thoughtful. For years, becoming an IAS officer, doctor, or engineer was the ultimate dream, often passed down like a family legacy. That hasn't changed much. What has changed is how students approach that dream. There's more self-awareness now. Students get caught up in questions like, "What is the endgame?" In the midst of it all, CUET has emerged as a real contender-not a compromise, but a strategic decision. It enables many students to pursue great higher education without experiencing the burnout that is common with high-pressure in many ways, has levelled the playing field. For students who don't come from expensive coaching ecosystems, it feels accessible. A student from Jabalpur now sees a real shot at landing in DU, BHU, or JNU as someone from Delhi or Mumbai. It doesn't carry the same fear factor as JEE or NEET, and that alone has made a difference. But this isn't about replacing those exams-it's about widening the horizon. For the first time, many students feel like the system has carved out a path they can actually walk on. While new options are emerging, traditional goals such as UPSC remain relevant. Civil services still have a strong appeal. The idea of effecting change, gaining respect, and having a solid profession remains popular. But students today are more strategic. Many are working, pursuing parallel degrees, and preparing for the UPSC at the same time. The dream is still alive, but it is being pursued with clarity and backup plans, which is a significant departure from the all-or-nothing mindset that previously defined these too, continues to be one of the most respected and deeply aspired-to careers in small-town continues to be a significant milestone for thousands of students, particularly girls, pursuing medical careers. The desire to wear that white coat remains strong. However, the consciousness has shifted. Families are increasingly aware of the budgetary realities, limited government seats and the long journey ahead. But, rather than retreating, the objective remains the same; the routes are more too, hasn't lost its magnetism. The keen desire for engineering, especially through IITs, NITs, or IIITs, remains a top-tier aspiration. But the way students approach it has evolved. Some are combining JEE prep with skills like coding, design, or entrepreneurship. The focus is no longer just on "cracking" an exam, and that's the larger story across the this shift in mindset, Tier-2 coaching hubs are booming like never before. Tier 2 and 3 cities have become ecosystems. Edtech has blurred the lines; students are combining offline coaching with online test series, YouTube lectures, and Telegram doubt groups. Whether it's JEE, NEET, CUET, or UPSC, there's a digital supplement for everything. In between the chaos, what's emerging is a hybrid learning culture; one that's more accessible, more personalised, and better aligned with each student's pace and there is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution, which may be the most significant shift of all. Whether it's CUET, NEET, JEE, or UPSC, each exam is significant in small-town India. The pressure has not subsided, but the options have expanded. And somewhere between ambition and awareness, a new kind of aspiration is quietly taking root: less about chasing status and more about finding what truly fits.- EndsMust Watch
