Complete Admission Process – Harish Chandra Degree College welcomes applications to UG programs (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com.) and select PG programs from students who meet the minimum academic norms prescribed by national regulators. For most UG courses, candidates should have passed Class 12 from a recognized board; for PG courses, a relevant bachelor’s degree is required as per UGC norms. Program-wise prerequisites (such as specific subject combinations or mathematics at the 10+2 level) follow the academic guidelines articulated in the National Education Policy 2020 and affiliating-university ordinances. Where applicable, Harish Chandra Degree College may consider scores from centralized tests such as CUET (UG) or CUET (PG) conducted by the NTA, alongside college-level eligibility screening. Applicants claiming reservations must satisfy category requirements per Government of India rules (e.g., OBC (NCL) central list, SC, ST, and EWS guidelines).

Merit List Preparation and Publication
After applications close, merit lists are prepared using the approved criteria—typically a composite of qualifying-exam marks and, where applicable, standardized test scores like CUET (UG)/CUET (PG). Weightages (if any for sports, NCC/NSS, or marginalized categories) comply with UGC and affiliating-university regulations. Candidates are advised to regularly track announcements on the college website for list release dates and reporting deadlines, and to keep digital copies of mark sheets verified through DigiLocker or the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) for faster verification. In case of ties, standard academic tie-breakers (subject marks or date of birth) are applied as per university norms. Wait-listed applicants should monitor subsequent rounds; movement depends on seat acceptance and document verification outcomes, and all timelines remain subject to the academic calendar issued by the affiliating university and broader Ministry of Education directives.
Counseling, Seat Allotment, and Fee Payment
Shortlisted candidates must participate in counseling as per the notified schedule. The process typically includes document verification, confirmation of program/subject combinations, and provisional allotment based on rank, category, and seat availability in line with UGC and university rules. Candidates who qualified via CUET (UG)/CUET (PG) should keep their scorecards ready for verification. Once a seat is offered, acceptance within the stipulated window is essential; non-response may lead to forfeiture and offer to the next candidate. Fee payment instructions (online/offline) and refund policies follow university and MoE norms. Students are encouraged to complete the mandatory anti-ragging undertaking through AntiRagging.in before commencement. Orientation details, academic induction per the NEP 2020 student-centric framework, and timetable publication are announced post-admission.

Required Documents and Verification Checklist
Bring original documents with one set of self-attested copies for verification. Typical requirements include Class 10 and 12 mark sheets/certificates (UG) or bachelor’s degree/provisional and transcript (PG), valid photo ID (e.g., Aadhaar or Passport), recent photographs, and proof of date of birth. Category applicants must provide current certificates as applicable—OBC (NCL) certificate, SC/ST certificate, or EWS certificate—issued by competent authorities. Candidates with disabilities should carry a valid UDID/medical certificate per statutory formats. Transfer/Migration Certificates, Character Certificate, and gap affidavits (if any) must be furnished at reporting. Digital documents downloaded via DigiLocker are generally acceptable; however, the college may request originals for cross-verification under UGC guidelines.
Important Notes, Scholarships, and Help Desk Support
Admission is subject to verification of eligibility, authenticity of documents, and compliance with the academic calendar. Candidates should review scholarship avenues on the National Scholarship Portal and state-specific schemes (as notified by respective departments) to plan finances early. International and out-of-state candidates must ensure timely issuance of equivalence and migration documents per university rules. All admitted students must submit the anti-ragging affidavit on AntiRagging.in and follow code-of-conduct norms framed by the university and UGC. For clarifications on eligibility, reserved seats, or CUET score usage, aspirants should refer to official notifications by the NTA and affiliating university. A dedicated Help Desk will publish contact hours and channels (phone/email) during the cycle to support applicants with form filling, document lists, fee payments, and counseling schedules in alignment with MoE directives.
