Kolkata: State education minister
Bratya Basu
has expressed concern over the impasse related to the undergraduate admission due to legal ambiguity.
On Thursday, Basu said: "We are also concerned over the publication of the Joint Entrance results.
There is overactivity aimed at halting the admission process, despite the Supreme Court directive.
"
A huge number of students who want to enrol in undergraduate courses and engineering colleges are still uncertain about the start of the admission process. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Board was preparing to publish the results, but the high court ordered a stay on it. The entire matter is pending before the court.

The HS results were published on May 7. Since then, three months have passed, but undergraduate admissions have not started yet due to the unresolved reservation matters. Around 3.5 lakh candidates applied through the centralized admission portal, while over 1 lakh candidates appeared for the WBJEE test to get admission to BTech courses. An official from the higher education department said, "This year, quite a good number of students from other states applied through the centralized portal, but we don't know how many of them will actually take admission.
