In an exclusive interview with NDTV, UGC Chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar has talked about the biannual admission process according to which admissions can either be offered in January-February or July-August from the new academic year. Mr Kumar explained that currently, higher education institutions admit students in one academic session, which starts in July-August and ends in May-June. Students who miss the admission process have to wait one full year to get admission in colleges. The University Grants Commission wanted to introduce a system where students do not have to wait for an entire year for securing admission in colleges.
