The lack of clarity in the Karnataka government’s decision regarding the admissions to degree courses for the year 2024-25, and the technical glitches in the Unified University College Management System (UUCMS) portal to apply online, has resulted in students and parents struggling this admission season.
The degree colleges have distributed applications (hard copies) to the students and started the enrollment process and students have been advised to apply online again after activation of the UUCMS portal. Students now have to apply twice.
“First, I have applied for a BA course in a Government First Grade College in Bengaluru. However, since it is mandatory to apply online and pay the fee online on the UUCMS portal, the authorities have suggested that we apply again after the portal is activated. But when we inquired from the college whether we should apply for a four-year degree course or three-year degree course, there was no clear answer,” said Sachin (name changed), a student.
