SAMS Odisha +3 Admissions: Deadline for UG courses extended
The Odisha government on Tuesday extended the online admission deadline for undergraduate courses in state-run colleges to June 1.
The decision was taken as the state Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) is yet to declare the results of the class 12 final examinations. Also, the state government recently decided to provide 11.25 per cent reservation to SEBC students in undergraduate courses, and eligible candidates are yet to get their certificates, officials said.
'The timeline for e-Admission into all (+3) Degree Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), including Self-Financing Colleges and Sanskrit Colleges of the State under SAMS, has been extended to 1st June 2025,' the Higher Education Department posted on X.
The earlier deadline was May 20.
The Higher Education Department advised applicants in the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) category to obtain a valid caste certificate from the competent authority and keep it ready for admission.
School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond said the results of the class 12 final examinations will be announced in two days.
'We will also ensure that the students do not face any problem in admission into the degree courses,' he said.
A total of 3.91 lakh students had appeared for the exams conducted by the CHSE.

Poor student's higher edu dreams fulfilled through govt intervention
1 2 Berhampur: In a heartening development, 20-year-old Sibani Gouda from the remote Bebir village in Gajapati district has secured admission to Plus III (1st year) Arts programme thanks to timely govt intervention. Sibani, who scored 77% in her Plus II examinations from a private higher secondary school at Adava, had initially given up hope of pursuing higher education due to financial constraints. The daughter of daily-wage labourer, she had missed the June 4 deadline for online applications. Following TOI coverage of her plight, regional education director Sidharth Shankar Padhy directed the principal of Hilltop College, Mohana, to facilitate her admission process. "We immediately reached out to ensure she doesn't miss this opportunity," said Padhy. Pranabanand Pattajoshi, a lecturer at Hilltop College, who assisted with the application process, said they helped Sibani secure necessary documentation, including residence certificates, and completed her application through the Student Academic Management System (SAMS) portal before the deadline. The college, located around 20 km from Sibani's village, is accessible via affordable bus service costing just Rs 5. College authorities are now approaching the district administration to waive her admission fees of around Rs 6,000, considering her family's financial situation. "I had almost lost hope of continuing my studies. I'm grateful to the teachers who helped me with the application process," said Sibani. Currently, Sibani's parents work as daily-wage labourers in Cuttack, where her 17-year-old brother is undergoing medical treatment. She has been staying with relatives in Bebir to pursue her education.
