After obtaining the Provisional admission Slip, the candidates have to go to the College allotted to them for admission and have to deposit the fee along with the Provisional Admission Slip issued by the Faculty Office on or before the last date indicated on the Provisional Admission Slip together with original certificates.
Sports Quota
The students applying through sports quota are required to contact the concerned college. Once admitted, these students are entitled to many incentives. If they perform well at the national and international level, their fee is fully refunded. They can also avail various scholarships. Colleges declining to accept the ICR forms sight several logistical and other problems. Firstly, they do not indicate any details about the sport played or activity participated in by the applicant, this can create a big confusion. Secondary, the University will send the list of all applications irrespective of the sport or activity chosen by the student. Also, since certificates are not required to be submitted along with the ICR forms, it would be impossible for authorities to shortlist candidates for trials.
Most colleges first prepare a shortlist of candidates who apply through sports or ECA quota and then call them for trials. Some seats in all courses are reserved for such students. After the trials are over, a merit list based on performance and marks is prepared. This means, if the toppers in the list opt for one subject, there is no room left for others. It is for the students’ own benefit that they are advised to take a course that may not be their first choice, but in which they can perform well along with playing their game. Otherwise, those who lack a strong academic foundation may fail and end up wasting an entire year. At times, students do not get the subjects that they desire, even if they pass their sports and ECA trials with flying colours. This is because academically weak students may not be able to maintain a balance between their studies and their game or extra curricular activities.
