    This comes a day after the regulator instructed all universities and colleges to start classes for fresh undergraduate and post graduate students latest by  October 1. Most higher educational institutions plan to start admission process once school boards including the Central Board of Secondary Education announce their results by 31 July. 

    In a circular, the UGC has asked institutions to complete admission process for UG and PG programmes via online, offline or blended mode depending on the ground situation with regard to Covid pandemic in various parts of the country.

    The deadline for completing fresh admissions has been kept at 30 September. Classes too have to be started in online, offline or blended mode as per situation in every state.
