Bengal Undergraduate Admissions Through Central Portal Next Week
Undergraduate admissions in West Bengal through a central online system are about to start again.
This system, called the Centralized Admission Portal (CAP), was used last year too.
However, there was a delay this year due to a court case related to reservations for certain students (OBC).
The government is working to sort out the legal issues so that the admissions can proceed smoothly.
The education minister has said that the issues will not significantly affect the overall admission process.
Some colleges that are not part of the online system have already begun accepting applications.
The official opening of the portal depends on the approval from higher authorities.
