Yes, the UGC has proposed bi-annual admissions for PG courses in India, allowing admissions in both July/August and January/February cycles. However, not all universities have implemented this yet. Whether you can join a PG course in the January/February cycle depends on the specific university and program. Some may offer limited seats in this cycle. It’s best to check the official university website for notifications and eligibility. This system aims to give flexibility and reduce waiting periods for students.

Hello,

Yes, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved biannual  admisision, means the institutions are allowed to admit students in both July/August and January/February cycles. This means you can join the PG course in the January/February cycle.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

As of now, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has not officially implemented bi-annual admissions for all universities in India. Most universities follow a yearly admission cycle, with intake typically in the July-August period.

However, some universities or specific courses may offer mid-year admissions (usually around January or February), but this is not common for all Postgraduate (PG) programmes.

You should check with the specific university or course you are interested in to see if they offer such an option.

So, while it may be possible in certain cases, it is not the norm for most PG courses in India.

Hope it helps !
