DKPUCPA launches portal for online admission to I PUC

Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada Pre-University Colleges Principals Association (DKPUCPA) has added yet another feather to its cap. After having launched a portal (result.dkpucpa.com) to announce results of first year PU three-years ago, the association, this year, has launched a new online admission system for first year PUC students.
It may be recalled that TOI recently reported the association’s initiative to launch online classes on YouTube, the link to which is available on www.dkpucpa.com.
The latest online admission system is a mobile-friendly version which students can use on their smartphones with decent bandwidth. They can look up information on colleges of their choice by logging on to www.apply.dkpucpa.com, link of which is also available in the main website.
Vittala A, principal, Kittel Memorial Pre-University College, Gorigudda, former office bearer of DKPUCPA and a nodal officer for the online admission system told TOI that as on date, 165 out of 201 PU Colleges in the district have come on board the new admission platform. Admission process is initiated once a student collects the application number and security code from the college by calling them using numbers of college coordinators on the website.
Students need to fill in all entries in the application form, details of which the college and the department of pre-university education will use for all future needs, he said, adding details must match the one filled in SSLC or equivalent certificate. Key is to give a valid mobile number that will be used for all communication from the college. Students must provide at least one mobile number of their parents/guardian for enabling SMS notifications, he said.
The other requirement is for a scanned copy of a recent passport size photograph of a prescribed dimension and maximum size not exceeding 100kb. A student can come back and edit the application any time they require till such time they submit it finally. Combinations and languages available in the chosen college alone is displayed for one’s selection, he said adding a student can apply to more than one college based on his/her requirement.
Colleges generate provisional admission for students based on their inputs and ratify it once documents such as a transfer certificate is furnished. This saves colleges data entry time, he said adding if DPUE ratifies this system, colleges going further could provide links for online payment of fees as well. This new arrangement gives students a peek into all college options before them and not just the colleges that have the capacity to advertise, he noted.
