"Generally, these colleges were handling the non- professional undergraduate students' admission process independently either online or in person, it added.
The DHE has said in view of the challenges arising due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is recommended under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs' guidelines to avoid any in-person academic activities, including admissions for the upcoming academic year.
Taking benefit of advances in Information Technology, it is possible to streamline the admission process completely online, including fee payment, without visiting the campus, it added.
Students can apply for admissions on DHE's website - www.dhe.goa.gov.in.
