Hello,
Yes, you can still apply for admission to the BSc BEd ITEP course at Kurukshetra University for 2025, even if you didn’t include it in your preference list during the NCET application.
After the NCET results come out, universities will start their counselling and admission process based on the scores. You can apply directly to Kurukshetra University when their admission process begins. If you meet the eligibility criteria and seats are available, you may get admission.
However, not including the university in your preference list might reduce your chances if seats get filled early in counselling. So, it’s best to apply as soon as the university opens its admission process and check all eligibility rules carefully.
Hope it helps !
