Karnataka to Eliminate Late Admission Fees for PU Colleges from 2026-27

The Karnataka government has announced the discontinuation of late admission penalty fees for Pre-University (PU) colleges across the state. This significant policy change is scheduled to be implemented starting from the 2026-27 academic year.

The decision aims to streamline the admission process and potentially reduce financial burdens associated with delayed applications for students seeking admission to PU courses. By removing these penalties, the state intends to create a more accessible and equitable environment for higher secondary education.

This policy shift will affect students applying to PU colleges for the academic year commencing in 2026. Further details regarding the specific modalities of the admission process are expected to be released by the relevant educational authorities in due course.
