Imagine you’ve mistakenly opted for a girls college instead of a regular co-ed and the authority even accepts your admission! In a bizarre event, the common admission portal of the government — Gujarat Common Admission Services (GCAS) male aspirants who mistakenly selected girls colleges in the portal have been allotted the same without any verification.

Many students mistakenly opted for girls colleges while filling in their preferences on the ‘Samarth’ portal of Gujarat University. There was no verification process in place to identify these mistakes in the GCAS and Samarth portals. This led to a major goof-up and around 300 boys were allotted seats in girls colleges in the first round of allotment.

This will deprive girls of getting admission into colleges of their choice. The boys who were allotted seats in girls colleges will also not be able to get admission to their preferred colleges in the second round.
