In the first admission round, 47,150 candidates have secured undergraduate seats across government degree colleges in Jammu and Kashmir.
The state’s higher‑education authority announced that 47,150 students have been allotted undergraduate seats in government degree colleges during Phase‑I of the admission cycle. The figure reflects the total enrolment across all disciplines offered by the public institutions in Jammu and Kashmir.
Phase‑I, which opened in early August, was the initial window for candidates to apply under the merit‑based selection process. The admissions were conducted through the online portal managed by the Directorate of Higher Education, ensuring transparency and uniformity.
Officials said the numbers indicate a steady demand for government‑run undergraduate programmes, especially in science, arts and commerce streams. The next phase of admissions is scheduled to begin later this month to accommodate remaining seats and additional applicants.
The data was reported by Kashmir Life, citing official release documents. The authority has urged students to complete the remaining formalities, such as fee payment and document verification, before the stipulated deadline.
