Published by the Directorate of Higher Education, Chandigarh Administration. The canonical source for the centralised online admission process, the NEP 2020 framework, eligibility, fee structure and the complete reservation policy across the city's affiliated colleges.
Everything an applicant needs for the centralised admission cycle — summarised below, with the PDF as the final authority.
The fundamental principles, vision, and the four-year curriculum-and-credit framework with multiple entry / exit options — implemented in Panjab University-affiliated colleges from 2024-25.
Programme-wise eligibility under NEP 2020 — for B.A., B.Sc., B.Sc. Biotechnology, B.Com., BBA, BCA, four-year Honours and Honours-with-Research tracks, plus all postgraduate programmes including M.Com., M.P.Ed.
The DHE-managed online counselling process, schedules for the 1st and 2nd centralised counselling rounds, document scrutiny, and seat allotment procedures.
The 85 / 15 UT Pool / General Pool split, all reserved-seat categories (Sports, SC, ST, PwD, Freedom Fighters, Defence, EWS), and additional-seat categories (Kashmiri Migrants, Kargil, Single Girl Child, Rural / Border Area, Youth Festival, Orphan Children, and more).
The DHE-prescribed fee schedule applicable across Government & Privately Managed Aided Colleges, with mode-of-payment guidance for Government and Aided colleges.
The institutional code of conduct, anti-ragging norms, and grievance redressal mechanisms applicable to all colleges under the DHE.
From the 2024-25 session, Panjab University-affiliated colleges have implemented the NEP 2020 framework. Undergraduate study now offers multiple exit and entry options.
Earn a UG Certificate after one year (48 credits + a vocational course / internship), a UG Diploma after two years, a Bachelor's Degree after three years, or a Bachelor's Degree (Honours) after four years. Re-entry to the degree is allowed within three years of exit.
Built on a Flexible Choice-Based Credit System with a multidisciplinary approach — students can combine subjects across humanities, sciences and skill-based courses, with no hard separations between streams.
The four-year Bachelor's (Honours with Research) programme is offered in BA, B.Sc., B.Com., BBA and BCA — for students wanting an extended research component before postgraduate study.
For programmes covered by centralised admissions — including BBA, BCA and B.Com. — applications are submitted online through the DHE portal. The Directorate runs a coordinated counselling process across all participating colleges.
Through the DHE portal at www.dhe.chd.gov.in — applicants list their preferences across colleges and courses.
The list of applicants is published course-wise on the DHE website.
Applicants can flag any issues to the SPIC by email.
If any document or detail is missing, the applicant receives an SMS to upload the requested document; the form is unlocked for the same.
Provisional college allotment is published; the allotted college verifies the form and the applicant pays the fee within 24 hours.
Vacant seats are notified and unfilled or upward-mobility preferences are processed in a second round.
Reserved category applicants who fall under the General-merit list will be admitted under General — please follow the General-category schedule for date and time. Sports admissions follow a separate schedule after the Gradation Certificate is issued by the Sports Department.
For courses outside the centralised DHE process — including the College's postgraduate programmes — admissions follow the College's own schedule and prospectus. See the New Student page for the local process and the College Prospectus for SGGS-specific details (including course intake, fees, and the College's hostel and reservation arrangements).
All centralised counselling activity, schedules, course-wise allotments, and form-discrepancy notifications appear here.
