New Delhi: The Higher Education Department (HED) has barred 64 Government Degree Colleges (GEC) from participating in CUET UG 2024 admission process. The department has cited a low application number from students for admission to these colleges as the main reason behind the decision.

The HED has identified 64 GDCs – 29 in Kashmir and 35 in Jammu, the list of which has been furnished by the concerned nodal principal, which received a lukewarm response from the students for their admissions in these colleges based on CUET scores.

Students will however be able to apply for admission to these colleges through the e-SAMARTH portal based on the marks of the students obtained in their class 12th examination. According to the official notice, “Due to very low CUET-based admissions in some government degree colleges during the previous year, the situation was reassessed this year after consultations with all stakeholders. It was decided to identify colleges where students did not prefer CUET-based admissions due to geographical constraints, topography, and infrastructure availability, and where CUET-based admissions were very low last year.”

The department noted that many students opted not to seek admission through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) due to geographical constraints and infrastructure availability. The Higher Education Department noted that CUET-based admissions in remote colleges such as Marwah, Tangdhar, Gurez, and Mahore put students at a disadvantage.

“The Nodal Principals of Jammu and Srinagar have provided lists of 35 Government Colleges in Jammu Division and 29 Government Colleges in Kashmir Division for exemption from CUET-based admissions, allowing them to admit students for the academic session 2024-25 without CUET scores,” the official notice mentioned.
