Gauhati University PG Admission 2020: No common entrance test; fee waived

NEW DELHI: Gauhati University has decided to do away with the postgraduate common entrance test for both university departments and affiliated colleges this year. The admission to postgraduate programmes offered at the university will be done based on the performance of the students in the qualifying examination.

The admission form of Gauhati University is likely to release from July 15 (5 pm). The admission process of Gauhati University has been delayed this year, due to Covid-19 pandemic.

In a major relief to the students, the university administration has waived off all fees related to the admission, except the application fee of Rs 250.

80% seats in the traditional programmes of the university are reserved for Gauhati University students only. Remaining seats will be reserved for other students. In an executive council meeting which took place on January 25, the council had finalized that 10% of seats will be reserved for EWS category students. These seats will be reserved in various postgraduate programmes in both university department and affiliated colleges.

The university will remain under lockdown until July 12 (6 pm). Keeping in view the rise in Covid tally, the city of Guwahati has gone under a 14-day total lockdown which began from June 28 (7 pm).
