PANAJI: The process of accepting forms for admissions to professional degree programmes is expected to begin next week. Chairman of the admission committee 2021, directorate of technical education (DTE), Dipak Gaitonde said that both online and offline modes will be open to students for the process.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the DTE began accepting forms for admissions to first year and second year direct entry to diploma programme seats.
“Earlier, admission forms for diplomas were being accepted only at the DTE office in Porvorim for North Goa and the Ravindra Bhavan in Margao for South Goa. This year, to be able to maintain social distancing because of the pandemic, forms are being accepted at four centres, to spread students across different centres so that Covid protocols are followed,” Gaitonde said.
He said that a similar increase in centres to accept admission forms for professional degree programme seats is also being considered.
The centres where diploma forms will be accepted are Government Polytechnics in Bicholim and Curchorem, the DTE office, and Agnel Polytechnic in Verna. Diploma forms can be submitted by students up to August 13, Gaitonde said.
“We are likely to start accepting forms for degree admission from August 9 or 10, the centres for which will be announced shortly,” he said.
The results of the Goa Common Entrance Test were declared on Tuesday. Entry to engineering and pharmacy degree seats is provided based on results of this test.
