General Shivdev Singh Diwan Gurbachan Singh Khalsa College, Patiala, offers merit-based admissions for its undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma programs, primarily through an online portal aligned with Punjab University guidelines. Admissions for the 2026-27 session are now open, focusing on programs like BA, BCom Hons, BBA, BCA, BSc Agriculture Hons, MCom, MSc Mathematics, and more.
The process is straightforward and merit-driven, starting with online registration on the official portal at kcpadmissions.in. Candidates register, fill the form, upload documents, and pay fees online; login credentials are emailed for completion. Offline options involve downloading and submitting printed forms with documents to the admissions office. Merit lists follow based on qualifying exam marks, with final admission after verification.
Undergraduate programs require 10+2 from a recognized board with at least 50% aggregate; specific streams apply, like Commerce for BCom Hons or Science for BSc. Postgraduate courses need a relevant bachelor's degree with 55-60% marks or equivalent CGPA from an accredited university. Examples include BBA/BCA (10+2 any stream), MCom (BCom or equivalent), MSc IT/Math (relevant UG), and MBA/PGDM (graduation). Relaxations may apply for reserved categories per Punjab government norms.
Admissions typically run August-September, but for 2026-27, registration is open as of late April 2026; exact deadlines vary yearly and should be checked on the portal. No specific 2026 closing dates are published yet, but Punjab University-affiliated processes often align with state schedules.
