DEPTT WORKING TO ENSURE ADMISSION FOR ALL INTERESTED STUDENTS

Speaking on the same topic, the Principal Secretary [HRDD], Dr Thomas Chandy, informed that the HRD Department has empanelled 12 new colleges [“reputed private institutions”] outside the state offering various courses such as engineering, diploma in engineering, nursing, paramedical courses and all having excellent placement records at very subsidised rates. The department had signed an agreement with these 12 colleges to provide admission to students from Sikkim as these were the courses available for Science students, but it was mostly the basic BSc courses that the students were applying, for he added. On the request of the HRD Department, even IGNOU has extended its last date of admission to 31 July and so, now students could also apply for Bachelor of Science there, he said and added that there were other courses available at IGNOU too.
