NEW DELHI : Tripura's Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath announced on Tuesday that admission to the state's 22 general degree colleges will be done online in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

No extra charges or fees for filling up the online registration forms would be taken. Once they register on the portal, students will be able to choose their colleges of choice. The candidates would be given telephonic guidance in case of any queries.

The H industan Times quoted minister as saying “We have also decided to waive charges of online portal registration, admission, college development and tuition fees. But the university registration fees and other nominal fees would stay”.

The minister said the process of admission is expected to start on August 10 and likely to continue till August 20. The admission will be done on the basis of merit. The candidates will have to furnish their photograph, signature and marks, Nath told reporters at the civil secretariat.
