I passed class 12th with 85% in 2018 and have a gap of 3 year after 12th. I want to take admission in psychology hons in the academic year 2021 in a regular college in Kolkata. Would my 3 year gap after 12th affect my admission in a college in kolkata?

Hello,

Each college has it's own eligibility criteria. Few colleges has minimum and maximum age limit for admission in to a particular course while few colleges does not keep bar on age. So you need to check the eligibility requirements and the age criteria. If you fullfill the age requirement you can surely get admission in that particular college.

Now, coming to gap in education and year of passing in the qualifying exam, it is  same as in the case of eligibility criteria and age requirement. A gap in education is permitted in few colleges. As you haven't mentioned specific college, if you can specify any particular college we can provide you the eligibility criteria and can say if you eligible to apply for admission or not. We are looking forward to help you if you can provide a specific college.

Jahnabi Das The eligibility criteria to get admission in Jogamaya Devi College, Kolkata in B.Sc Psychology(hons) is that a candidate must have passed the Higher Secondary (10+2) or its equivalent Examination with minimum five subjects including English and the total marks for English paper must be 100 marks (The maximum marks of the English paper must be 100 marks) from a recognized board. The minimum permissible gap in Education not more than 5 years from the year of passing the qualifying exam that is 10+2. As you have 3 years gap which is below the permissible limit you are eligible to get admission provided you must have fulfilled the eligibility criteria provided.
