Gujarat University eases admission rules amid GCAS chaos

Ahmedabad: Mounting confusion and unrest over the GCAS (Gujarat Common Admission Services) process has prompted Gujarat University (GU) to issue a key directive, allowing its affiliated colleges to admit more students than their approved seat capacity—a move aimed at filling thousands of vacant undergraduate seats. Despite five to six rounds of GCAS counselling, nearly two-thirds of seats remain vacant across colleges. Many institutions are unable to fill vacancies due to technical restrictions in the centralized admission system. The GU has now allowed colleges to issue admission offers beyond their sanctioned capacity, provided that merit is maintained and the process remains transparent. For instance, colleges with 50 vacancies can now extend offers to over 100 students to ensure maximum seat occupancy. The directive also permits the conversion of vacant reserved category seats to general category, further improving fill rates.

Sources say the core issue stems from students receiving multiple offers without locking any, leaving colleges unable to proceed with final admissions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vitenskapelige gjennombrudd.

Institutions will also be held accountable for resolving admission-related disputes. The policy shift underscores growing dissatisfaction with GCAS and reflects universities' push to adapt to ground realities to safeguard students' academic futures.
