One Portal for All Admissions: West Bengal Higher Education Council’s Centralised System

One Portal for All Admissions: Getting admission into a college can be stressful and confusing, especially when each college has a different process. To solve this, the West Bengal State Council of Higher Education, under the Department of Higher Education, has launched the Centralised Admission Portal. Now, students across West Bengal can apply to multiple colleges from one single online platform.

West Bengal State Council of Higher Education

This initiative is led by the West Bengal State Council of Higher Education, with full support from the Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal. The aim is to ensure that every student has fair, transparent, and easy access to higher education opportunities.

Why a Centralised Admission System?

Before this system, students had to apply separately to different colleges, often facing delays, confusion, and extra costs. A centralised system brings everything together, making the process simple, fair, and fast. It ensures equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their location.
