Jammu, September 24
After a large number of seats were left vacant in MBBS, BDS, BVSc, BSc (Agriculture), BAMS, BUMS and physiotherapy courses at various colleges across the state, the Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) has asked the candidates to attend the upgradation counselling.
The board has decided to conduct a fresh counselling on September 26 and 27 for all those candidates who had not been allotted any course or had joined a course, but wanted to upgrade.
Prof Gopal Gupta, Controller of Examination BOPEE, said a few seats were lying vacant in some courses and all those, who had attended the first counselling, were eligible to attend this counselling too.
“As per the rules, we can fill the seats till October 31 and after that no new admissions can be considered. So, we are conducting fresh counselling for the benefits of the students. All those who have taken admissions in other courses, due to the non-availability of seats in their most preferred course may now come in for the counselling,” said Prof Gupta.
He added, “Medical courses has always remained the first preference of the students, but when some students take admission in other courses or leave their seats due to some reason, a few seats become vacant. So, now there is an opportunity for the candidates to get admission in medical courses too.”
Giving further details, Gupta said the interested candidates should register themselves before 9 am at the BOPEE office, Srinagar, so that there was no confusion.
“The counselling will be purely done on the merit basis,” he said, adding, “that the interested candidates can also get the information on the board’s official website.”
