Gujarat: Rush unlikely for admissions in commerce colleges

AHMEDABAD: Even though the Class 12 general stream results are at a decadal high this year, it is likely that there won't be a rush for admissions in commerce colleges.
The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board's (GSHSEB) Class 12 general stream results for 2022 stood at 86.91%, the highest in the last 13 years.
Sources said that in 2021 when the students were mass promoted, as many as 3,000 seats in commerce colleges had remained vacant. Sources said that there are around 40,000 commerce, BBA and BCA seats available in Gujarat University.
Around 40,000 students of Ahmedabad city and rural have cleared the exams. Sources said that normally around 30% of the students who have cleared the exams take admissions in GU while the remaining students usually go to other universities for further studies.
Sources said that the university has not yet begun the process of admissions in commerce branches and there is no clarity when the process will begin.
On the other hand, in the last two years, around 15 private universities have come up and these universities have already begun the admission process by distributing admission forms.
Sources said that the GU is yet to select the agency which will execute the admission process and may be by next week the admission process will begin.
