KAHILIPARA::: GUWAHATI
Ecf No: 473870/16 Dated: Kahilipara, 24th May, 2024
NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to the approval of the Higher Education department, Govt. of Assam, the
undersigned is directed to notify the following points to be followed for FYUGP, FYIMP and
FYIPGP admissions to the academic session 2024 by all participating Universities and
Colleges.
1. Admission for FYUGP (Four-year Undergraduate Programme), FYIMP (Five-year Integrated
Master Programme) and FYIPGP (Five-year Integrated Post Graduate Programme) either through
non-CUET mode or CUET mode will be provisioned only through the common admission portal
(https://assamadmission.samarth.ac.in/) for all Govt/ Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Adarsha
Mahavidyalaya/ Provincialized/ Govt. Model Colleges/ Autonomous Colleges. Additionally,
admissions for FYIMP and FYUGP in State University campuses and Private/ Venture/ Non-
Government Colleges affiliated with State Universities and Assam University will also be
provisioned only through the common admission portal
(https://assamadmission.samarth.ac.in/)
2. Students will get six options for program selection either in the same Higher Educational
Institution (University/Colleges) or in different Higher Educational Institutions (HEI)
(University/Colleges).
3. Students need to mark preferences against the options of programs. HEIs will be indicated of the
preference given by the applicants. Autonomous Colleges /Universities shall prepare the merit
lists in accordance with their admission rules. However, affiliated Colleges shall prepare their
Merit list in accordance to the relevant policy of the concerned Affiliating Universities.
Accordingly, the Merit list may be prepared by the University/Colleges based on the student’s
preference, subject to the fulfilment of merit criteria required for admission to that
University/College.
For example: If Student 1 who secured 95 % opts for the same or different programs in College
A and B and has marked first preference in College B and second preference in College A and
Student 2 who secured 90 % opts for the same or different programs in College A and B and has
marked first preference in College A and second preference in College B then Student 2 despite
securing 90 % (which is less than 95 %) will be given preference in offering admission in College
A as that is his/her first preference and student 1 who secured 95 %, merely by the virtue of marks
will not be offered admission in that program in College A as it was not selected as a first preference
by Student 1. However, if Student 1 qualifies on a merit basis in College B then similarly he/she
will be given preference in the offer of admission by publication of the merit list in College B.
4. HEIs will have to do the academic scrutiny (selection of papers based on eligibility for the
program/discipline) after auto-fetching of verified marks after entering Board Roll numbers/
CUET registration numbers.
5. After academic scrutiny, the HEIs may choose the range of students for further document
verification and preparation of merit lists. The minimum range would be equal to the total seats in
that program discipline and the maximum range would be all the applications.
6. The Merit lists, unlike earlier practice, need not be uploaded in Excel or PDF files on the HEI
website, rather the HEIs will mark the students considered for offering admission by processing
the merit list in the admission portal itself. Once marked and saved by the HEI, the merit list for
the programs will be auto-generated and visible to students in the “merit list section” of the
admission portal (https://assamadmission.samarth.ac.in/)
7. The students will receive an admission offer message with a URL in their registered e-mail and
mobile number for further processing. Only upon acceptance of the admission offer by the
applicant by logging into their admission portal, the Universities or Colleges will be able to process
the application for grant of admission.
8. In the subsequent merit lists, if an admitted student is offered admission in a program/College in
a relatively higher order of their preference, and if they wish to take admission in the other HEI
then they need to raise a cancellation request on the first day of publication of subsequent merit

lists till 5 P.M. The HEIs are to manually cancel their admission and refund their fees on the first
day until 9 P.M, so that the applicants may take admission on the second day of the merit list.
However, if the cancellation is not done by the College/University on the first day, the pending
cancellation requests will be auto-cancelled and the refund fee pendency will show in the
Institution’s profile from where the applicants had cancelled their admissions.
9. The total number of students in the Merit list against each program and discipline will be strictly
as per the sanctioned seat matrix for the Major program in that discipline. In the case of Discipline
Specific programs, the Merit list against that discipline-specific programme will be as per the
sanctioned seat matrix for that discipline-specific programme. Once admission is offered by the
College/University to candidates, it is mandatory for the HEIs to give admission to candidates
subject to document scrutiny and compliance with college/university policies.
10. Colleges and Universities will have the discretion to check and verify the Income certificates
produced by applicants at the time of admission. In case of any doubt, the Institution may ask the
candidate to produce further relevant documents to ascertain the validity of the claim regarding
the status of income below 2 lakhs, and only after being fully satisfied with the authenticity of the
claim they are to be granted admission under the Fee Waiver category. If the Institution is
unsatisfied with the claim, they need to inform the applicant in writing with justification and grant
admission under the non-fee waiver category.
11. In case, the Ration Card is given as an income document, HEIs are to verify the income, which will
be shown in the admission portal through API from the NFSA database at the time of grant of
admission, and if satisfied that the income is below 2 lakhs then Fee waiver is to be granted.
12. HEIs will be able to view their Fee status (received either through Cash or Payment gateway) and
the net amount (admission minus cancellation) shall be remitted to the HEI’s account upon
completion of the cycle of admission separately for Non-CUET and CUET.
