Ranchi: With results of Class XII of the Central Board of Secondary Education and the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination declared and the Jharkhand Academic Council all set to follow suit in May-end, admissions for undergraduate courses in the state universities have also begun with the activation of the "Chancellor's Portal".
Ranchi University (RU) officials said application forms for the courses would be accepted till June 19 and the list of selected candidates would be published by June 23. The documents attached to the applications will be verified between June 24 and June 30.
According to university authorities, candidates can apply with their valid Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores and also their Class XII marks, but preference would be given to the former.
The dean of students' welfare, S K Sahu, said, "The candidates have to state their choice of subjects and colleges in the application forms. In case of internet connection problems, they can also come to their respective colleges of choice where the common resource centres would help them fill up the forms. In case there is a vacancy after the first round of admissions, more applications would be invited again."

Result Day: Glitches Log Out Scores
New Delhi: After a long-awaited CUET exam, thousands of students logged in to check their results on Saturday, only to be met with frozen screens, error messages and endless buffering. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What was meant to be a gateway to India's top universities quickly spiralled into a digital nightmare. "I kept refreshing all afternoon, but the screen just wouldn't load," said an aspirant from east Delhi. Like her, countless others were locked out of the system due to server glitches that marred the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results this year. According to one parent, the official CUET website crashed shortly after the results were announced and remained inaccessible for nearly four to five hours. Many users encountered repeated errors such as "invalid authentication" or "invalid admission number" and were even unable to reset their passwords due to the system's failure. "The login troubles persisted for most of the afternoon, despite NTA's tweet announcing the results around 2.30pm. Students began accessing their scores only by 5 or 5.30pm," said a parent. Uvika, an aspirant, attempted to check her score in the afternoon. She claimed that till 4 pm, "it wasn't out." Another student, Chetna Sharma from Gurgaon, managed to access her results late, but not without considerable struggle. She confirmed that her result "came late." She described encountering various errors while trying to log in: "Like, it was showing invalid earlier. Sometimes the application number, sometimes the password, both were invalid. Sometimes the captcha code was invalid. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Then it just came suddenly. " Chetna started trying to check her result in the afternoon and made three or four attempts before she could access her result at 6 pm. Another student, Pratishtha, who also tried to log in as soon as the notification for the results came, said, "I tried and tried. First, the website did not load, and then, it did not take my credentials. It was only after at least two hours that I could access my result." The frustration was compounded by repeated delays in the announcement of the result itself, as students were initially told to expect results by the end of June. Parents noted that other national exams like NEET released both the final answer key and results on the same day. One parent remarked, "It's amazing that they still can't get their website in order." These delays have real consequences for families, many of whom are forced to hedge their bets with private university admissions. Several parents reported paying fees at private universities just to ensure their children have a backup option. While UGC rules mandate substantial fee refunds if classes haven't begun, the uncertainty still leads to financial strain—especially for families for whom even a 10% deduction matters. "We've paid fees at two, three places, but now DU is so delayed we barely have time to plan — how do we shift a child to another city like Bengaluru or Chennai without time to prepare?" said one parent.

CUET-UG results: Lone candidate got top score across 4 subjects; dip in aspirants and universities this year
In the fourth year of CUET-UG serving as a common entrance exam for undergraduate courses, results announced on Friday saw only a single candidate with a top score in four out of five subjects. Besides, fewer candidates appeared for the exam and fewer universities participated this year as compared to previous years. Out of the top 20 scorers this year, more than half – 11 – are female candidates, including the only candidate who secured a 100 percentile in four out of five subjects, according to an official in the National Testing Agency (NTA). In terms of other high scores: – The top three aggregate scores in five subjects this year were 1225.93, followed by 1210.10, and 1205.17. – A total of 17 candidates scored 100 percentile in three subjects this year. – 150 candidates saw a top score in two subjects. – 2,679 candidates secured a top score in one subject. In 2024, when candidates could write their exams in six subjects, 63 candidates secured full marks in four subjects, while five candidates secured full marks in five subjects, according to the official. That year also saw 558 candidates secure full marks in three subjects, while 3,014 candidates secured a full score in two subjects, and 14,941 candidates secured a full score in one subject. In 2023, a total of 195 candidates scored a 100 percentile in at least four subjects; this figure was 114 in 2022, which was the first time the exam was held. A total of 10.72 lakh candidates appeared for the exam this year, down from 11.16 lakh in 2023 and 11.14 lakh in 2024. A lower number of candidates appeared for the exam in its first edition in 2022 – 9.68 lakh. The number of women who appeared for the exam this year (5.24 lakh) has seen an uptick from 5.19 lakh last year, while the number of men who appeared for CUET-UG dropped to 5.48 lakh this year from 5.94 lakh last year. The NTA official pointed to a few differences in this year's exam compared to last year. First, students picked five subjects to write their papers instead of six, and the number of subjects offered was down to 37 from last year's 63. The test duration for all subjects was a uniform 60 minutes this year, while a few papers had a test duration of 45 minutes last year. This year, the test was only offered as a computer-based test, unlike last year when it was offered in hybrid mode — both pen-and-paper and computer-based. CUET-UG, which was held from May 13 to June 4 this year, is used for undergraduate admissions to central universities, and participating state and private universities. There are a total of 239 participating universities this year, down from 283 last year, and 249 in 2023. In 2022, the exam was for admissions across 90 universities. The computer-based test saw a few glitches this year. While a technical glitch in the server delayed the exam at several centres across the country on May 26, the exam on May 13 and 14 at a centre in Srinagar was rescheduled on account of a technical glitch.
