WB Centralised Admission Portal 2024 Sees Numerous Students Skip Admission in Phase 2 - Upgrade to Begin Soon

In the second round of the centralised undergraduate admission process, approximately 73,000 students registered. However, only around 27,000 students successfully completed the admission process, leaving over 56,000 students absent from this crucial stage. This significant shortfall has raised questions about whether the number of available seats has exceeded the demand.

In recent years, a large number of seats at the undergraduate level have remained vacant, prompting the Higher Education Department to take steps to address the issue of surplus seats.

On August 20, the merit list for the second round was released, and the seat allotment process began. Students can upgrade their seats from August 27 to August 30. The physical verification process at colleges will take place from September 3 to September 7.

By August 23, a total of 73,653 students had completed the registration process by submitting their fees. Initially, 224,886 students had applied, but only 130,114 students were allotted seats in the second round. Out of these, only around 73,000 students completed the first stage of the admission process.

The total number of seats available for undergraduate admissions is around 947,000. In the first round, 13,500 students failed to appear for document verification in person. Notably, after the first round's verification process, 347,464 students have started classes, while 409,464 students had registered their preferred colleges and courses. After the first round, a list of 527,663 students was published, but 27% of the seats, or approximately 125,000, remained vacant. Following the fee submission process in the second round, it was observed that over 56,461 students did not complete the payment.
