Original Certificate Not A Must For Admission To Plus III In Odisha; Check Details

Bhubaneswar:  Students can now take admission in degree colleges across Odisha without furnishing original certificates, the Higher Education Department said on Monday.

Principals of all government and non-government degree colleges have been directed to allow students admission with downloaded mark sheets and undertaking.

In a letter, Higher Education Deputy Director (Performance Tracking Cell) Rajesh Kumar Sahoo said that students may not able to produce the original certificates, mark sheets and migration certificates for verification at the time of admission as there has been some disruption in supplying those to the students passing out from CHSE (Odisha) during 2021-22 due to the COVID pandemic.

“Therefore, downloaded mark sheets with self-attestation along with undertaking submitted by the students of CHSE should be accepted by the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) during the time of admission,” he added.

Here is the procedure to be followed for smooth conduct of admission process for the session 2021-2022:

1.    The downloaded mark sheets submitted by the selected students from the menu-MIS report and sub-menu (ARSE-2021 RESULT) on the SAMS website should be verified.

2.    The ICSE/CBSE/other board students if selected for admission must submit downloaded mark sheets and certificates duly attested by the head of the institution if original documents have not been issued yet by the Board/Council concerned.

If any these student has been selected for admission based on the marks secured (in terms of best of four or five subjects), it is requested to verify the mark sheets of these students on the basis of total marks secured (taking all subjects into consideration). If it is found that the selected student has got marks above the cut off marks for the selected subject, she/he should be allowed to take admission and necessary error correction done in e-space. But, if she/he has secured fewer marks than the cut-off mark, error correction should be done so as to include her/his application for the subsequent round of selection.

3.    Undertaking should be kept from the admitted students regarding submission of original certificates and mark sheets within 15 days from the date of admission for la selection and 7 days for 2nd selection. Students of ICSE/CBSE/other boards should be allowed one month time from the date of admission to submit the original migration certificate if they are not able to submit the same, failing which their admission would stand cancelled.
