While most of institutions, including RTC Inter College and Ursuline Inter College will accept admissions based on scores, some including St John's Inter College and St Xavier's Inter College will conduct entrance exams to enroll candidates.
Shusma Pramanik, a student, said: "After the release of the results, we are free to apply for admission to the college of our choice, and we can select a college based on our grades as each institution has a different cut-off score requirement. It is also advantageous for us that colleges open admissions process after the release of the exam results, so students will not worry about the lack of available seats."
