The admission process for postgraduate programmes at Goa University and affiliated colleges for 2020-21 will be held online, the university said on Saturday. The Goa University Admissions Ranking Test (GU-ART) Round I and II were conducted earlier this year and based on this, the admissions have begun, with the GU portal already accepting admission forms. The university has said that applications for admission will be accepted online till 6pm on July 16 and has asked students not to visit the campus.

“Based on the GU-ART Round-I and Round-II, selected candidates have confirmed their seats as per their rankings for various programmes,” GU said.

Admissions to the PG programmes are based entirely on GU-ART and marks obtained by students at graduation will only be used to ascertain their eligibility for the programme, the university said. As the final year exams for graduate programmes in the state are yet to be conducted due to the lockdown, the university has reiterated that ‘candidates who have completed their graduation or are in their final year of graduation are eligible to apply’ for PG seats.

“Selected candidates, who are in the final year of graduation, shall be granted provisional admission. Their admission will be confirmed after the results are declared based on the eligibility. In case a candidate fails to clear the graduation examination, the admission shall be cancelled and the fees shall be refunded,” the circular states.

The university said that in their own interest, students are advised to apply for admissions much before the closing date and ‘not to wait till the last date for applying or payment of application fee to avoid possibility of disconnection, inability or failure to log on to the website as there might be heavy load on the internet or website’.

“Goa University does not assume any responsibility for the candidates not being able to submit their application within the last date on account of aforesaid reasons or for any other reason beyond the control of Goa University. The printout of the application form is not to be sent to the university,” the circular states.
