Over 3,000 BBA-BCA seats vacant at GU; law college admissions yet to begin

After the second round of online admissions through the Gujarat Common Admission Services (GCAS) portal, more than 65,000 seats remained vacant in various UG courses at Gujarat University. 

In private colleges, over 1,400 seats are vacant in BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) and BCA ( (Bachelor of Computer Applications) courses, reports suggest. Out of 2,218 seats at 13 BCA colleges, 662 seats are vacant.

In BBA, 785 out of 1,502 remain vacant. In all, 3,720 BBA-BCA seats remain to be filled .

From July 16, colleges will convert reserved seats into open and admit students based on merit. This process will continue till July 18.

On the other hand, Gujarat University-affiliated grant-in-aid  law colleges are facing staff shortages, which is likely to drag the admission process till August.

For many years, the universities granted law colleges have not been granted renewal permission by the council due to the non-provision of staff.

Last year, Gujarat University-affiliated law colleges filed a petition in the Gujarat High Court where the government had approved staff for only one class each.

Meanwhile, this year the high court ordered the council to conduct college inspections and submit a report. The council is currently conducting inspections in the colleges.

This is likely to hinder the admission process, which is not likely to start before August. There are 28 GU-affiliated law  colleges in the state.
