Last year, the varsity had attempted the same but offline admissions also continued as there were concerns from parents and students about the feasibility of the process,"”a committee member said. “However, even UGC has given the go-ahead for the same and the process has been already tested so the admissions are likely to be completely online from this year.”<br /><br />The admission committee headed by the Dean of Students Welfare has had two meetings in the last fortnight.<br /><br />Other likely recommendations include centralised fee collection system and reducing the number of cut-off lists.<br /><br />“So far, with the offline admission system being in place, the application centres used to collect the fees.
