Srinagar, Oct 10 (ToK News): The Director Colleges, Jammu and Kashmir, Sheikh Ajaz Bashir has announced that the deadline for college admissions has been extended till October 14, 2025 for students who appeared in the Secondary School Examination (Class 12th) under the Annual Private/Biannual 2025 session.
The extension comes as a relief for hundreds of students who were unable to complete their admission formalities on time. The admissions are being conducted for the Four-Year Undergraduate Programs (FYUGP) with multiple exit options, offered across various Government Degree Colleges of Jammu and Kashmir for the Academic Session 2025-2026.
According to the official statement issued by the Directorate of Colleges, the decision to extend the deadline was taken after receiving several representations from students and parents requesting additional time due to procedural delays and document verification issues.
“In continuation to the earlier notification, the last date for admissions has now been extended up to October 14, 2025,” the order reads. “All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.”
Admissions Open for FYUGP Courses
The FYUGP courses, introduced as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, allow students the flexibility to exit the program after one, two, or three years with respective certifications — a key step toward a more student-friendly higher education system in Jammu and Kashmir.
The extended deadline aims to ensure that no eligible student misses the opportunity to secure admission in their preferred college due to time constraints.
Vacant Seats and Eligibility
The extension applies only to leftover vacant seats in Government Degree Colleges. Students who have successfully cleared the Class 12th examination under JKBOSE (Annual Private/Biannual 2025) are eligible to apply. The admissions are being conducted through the official JK Higher Education Department portal.
Eligible students are advised to visit their respective colleges or apply online at the official college websites to complete the admission process before the new deadline.
