Babushahi Bureau
Mohali, June 12, 2024: The Federation of Self-Financing Technical Institutions of India (FSFTI) and Punjab Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA) have welcomed the UGC decision to permit biannual admissions in the country.
Dr Anshu Kataria, President FSFTI, PUCA, said that we have been demanding this since last decades that when student of our country is going four times in a year to various countries including US, Canada, Europe, Australia New Zealand etc then why there is no such option for the students in our country, India which is the most populated country in the world.
Kataria further said that punjab might be the biggest gainer of this decision as various restrictions imposed by these countries on study visa.
A lot of Punjabi's would not be able to get a visa and would miss to get the admission in July-August batch but with this decision they can opt for January batch admission.
Amit Sharma, Senior Vice President and Gurpreet Singh, General Secretary, PUCA said that sometimes many NEET and JEE aspirants think to repeat the batch but later on want to change their decision but if missed, such prosperous does not have any option to save precious academic year.
Kataria urged AICTE and other Councils as well as affiliating universities of the country to implement UGC decision in letter and spirit.
