Over 40k applications for 4.5k PG seats in GU & affiliated colleges
Guwahati: A rush for admission to Gauhati University (GU) and its affiliated colleges for postgraduate (PG) courses was witnessed this year, with the number of applications crossing the 40,000 mark. GU authorities on Saturday said this year, 15,000 students submitted 42,000 applications, a significant rise from last year's 28,000 applications, for admission in 50 subjects in PG. The total number of seats in PG courses, distributed in GU and its affiliated colleges, is around 4,500. While this trend is considered an encouraging sign for the premier public university of the state, it also exposes the dearth of an adequate number of seats in PG, with many of the qualified applicants being GU pass outs. Officials said this also highlights the need for students to prioritise other skill-based or professional courses that are available in Assam and under GU. However, the dearth of seats to accommodate the qualified graduates is a phenomenon witnessed across different universities in the country. The PG entrance tests for GU admissions were held from Thursday to Saturday. "We have reserved 50 per cent of the PG seats for GU pass outs, whereas the rest are open. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo A few more supernumerary seats (additional) will be there for other NE states to encourage students from the neighbouring states to pursue higher studies in GU," GU registrar Prof Utpal Sarma told TOI. GU vice-chancellor professor Nani Gopal Mahanta said, "Gauhati University has always positioned itself as a hub of knowledge and innovation. We are committed to realising the dreams of every aspiring student. I believe those who appeared for the entrance examinations will attain the results they strive for and progress through the opportunities this university offers." With an A+ accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Gauhati University continues to uphold its commitment to making higher education accessible to all. To ensure wider participation, the examinations were held across 20 centres, including Dibrugarh, Barpeta, Jorhat, Guwahati, Tezpur, Nagaon, Silchar, Lakhimpur, Dhubri, Diphu, Bongaigaon and Shillong. GU, the oldest university in the northeast, recently secured a coveted place in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2025, entering the 1,201-1,500 global band. It also featured in the THE Asia University Rankings at 351-400, rising to 48th position among Indian higher-education institutions, the best showing for any university in the region.

Half of seats in MP colleges vacant after 3rd counselling
Indore: Despite three rounds of counselling, nearly half of the 6.5 lakh seats available across undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and teacher education courses in Madhya Pradesh remain vacant. So far, over 3.4 lakh students secured admissions for the 2025–26 academic session, prompting the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to consider conducting another CLC round to maximise seat utilisation. Admissions for CLC round closed on Thursday for UG and NCTE courses. Of the total admissions, more than 2.4 lakh students enrolled in UG programmes, around 62,000 through the first College Level Counselling (CLC) round and over 1.8 lakh in the earlier phases of online counselling. Teacher education courses regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) witnessed one of the highest response rates among all programmes, with over 50,000 admissions secured against 58,000 available seats. The high enrolment in NCTE courses highlights a continued demand among students to enter the teaching profession. Postgraduate admissions are also progressing, with more than 48,000 students already admitted. The registration window for the PG CLC round closed on Thursday, with over 25,000 fresh registrations recorded. DHE revised the PG admission schedule following directions from the high court. Applicants for subjects outside the major-minor format will receive interview notifications with details of date, time, and venue by July 14. Interviews will be held between July 16 and 17, with colleges entering the marks on the admission portal soon after. PG seat allotment will be released on July 21, and selected students must complete fee payment between July 21 and 25 to confirm their admission. "The CLC round concluded with encouraging numbers, and a substantial number of students also registered for PG programmes," said Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, officer on special duty, DHE. With nearly half the seats still vacant after three rounds of counselling, another round of admissions is likely to follow to ensure maximum seat utilisation.
