What's Inside

Six areas the document covers

National Education Policy 2020

The fundamental principles, vision, and the four-year curriculum-and-credit framework with multiple entry / exit options — implemented in Panjab University-affiliated colleges from 2024-25.

Eligibility Criteria

Programme-wise eligibility under NEP 2020 — for B.A., B.Sc., B.Sc. Biotechnology, B.Com., BBA, BCA, four-year Honours and Honours-with-Research tracks, plus all postgraduate programmes including M.Com., M.P.Ed.

Online Centralised Admission

The DHE-managed online counselling process, schedules for the 1st and 2nd centralised counselling rounds, document scrutiny, and seat allotment procedures.

Reservations, Weightage & Concessions

The 85 / 15 UT Pool / General Pool split, all reserved-seat categories (Sports, SC, ST, PwD, Freedom Fighters, Defence, EWS), and additional-seat categories (Kashmiri Migrants, Kargil, Single Girl Child, Rural / Border Area, Youth Festival, Orphan Children, and more).

Fee Structure

The DHE-prescribed fee schedule applicable across Government & Privately Managed Aided Colleges, with mode-of-payment guidance for Government and Aided colleges.

Discipline & Conduct

The institutional code of conduct, anti-ragging norms, and grievance redressal mechanisms applicable to all colleges under the DHE.

Highlight — NEP 2020 Framework

A three- or four-year flexible undergraduate degree

From the 2024-25 session, Panjab University-affiliated colleges have implemented the NEP 2020 framework. Undergraduate study now offers multiple exit and entry options.

Multiple Entry & Exit

Earn a UG Certificate after one year (48 credits + a vocational course / internship), a UG Diploma after two years, a Bachelor's Degree after three years, or a Bachelor's Degree (Honours) after four years. Re-entry to the degree is allowed within three years of exit.

Curriculum & Credit Framework

Built on a Flexible Choice-Based Credit System with a multidisciplinary approach — students can combine subjects across humanities, sciences and skill-based courses, with no hard separations between streams.

Honours with Research

The four-year Bachelor's (Honours with Research) programme is offered in BA, B.Sc., B.Com., BBA and BCA — for students wanting an extended research component before postgraduate study.

How Admissions Work

Centralised online counselling through DHE

For programmes covered by centralised admissions — including BBA, BCA and B.Com. — applications are submitted online through the DHE portal. The Directorate runs a coordinated counselling process across all participating colleges.

The Process at a Glance

Online application through the DHE portal at www.dhe.chd.gov.in — applicants list their preferences across colleges and courses.
Provisional list of applicants is published course-wise on the DHE website.
Discrepancy reporting — applicants can flag any issues to the SPIC by email.
Scrutiny of forms — if any document or detail is missing, the applicant receives an SMS to upload the requested document; the form is unlocked for the same.
1st Centralised Counselling — provisional college allotment is published; the allotted college verifies the form and the applicant pays the fee within 24 hours.
2nd Centralised Counselling — vacant seats are notified and unfilled or upward-mobility preferences are processed in a second round.

Reserved category applicants who fall under the General-merit list will be admitted under General — please follow the General-category schedule for date and time. Sports admissions follow a separate schedule after the Gradation Certificate is issued by the Sports Department.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh College Admissions

For courses outside the centralised DHE process — including the College's postgraduate programmes — admissions follow the College's own schedule and prospectus. See the New Student page for the local process and the College Prospectus for SGGS-specific details (including course intake, fees, and the College's hostel and reservation arrangements).
