CBSE students
The varsity has extended the last date for online registration for undergraduate courses under CAP till June 3. The move comes following a directive of a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court to the government to extend the last date for submission of applications for admission to Plus Two courses in higher secondary schools by three working days after the declaration of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X results.
CAP officials said the extension of the online registration process would benefit students from CBSE and ICSE streams.
As many as 4,269 CBSE students had registered online by 4 p.m. on Monday for the centralised allotment for undergraduate courses after the board declared the Class 12 results on Sunday.
The number is likely to cross 10,000 by the time the window for online registration closes on June 3, they added.
