Rajeev Gandhi Govt. Postgraduate College Admissions 2026-27 Dates, Appilcation Form, Process & Fee

Rajeev Gandhi Government Post Graduate College in Ambikapur, Surguja, Chhattisgarh, follows a merit-based admission process primarily governed by the Chhattisgarh Higher Education Department guidelines for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programs under the New Education Policy (NEP). Admissions emphasize eligibility from recognized boards/universities, with preferences for local residents and reservations for SC/ST/OBC categories.

Admission Process

• Aspiring students must obtain and submit the application form along with required documents by the deadline set by the Principal, available via the college website (rgpgcapur.ac.in) or notice board.
• The admission committee prepares merit lists based on qualifying exam percentages (plus weightage if applicable), displayed on the notice board; selected candidates deposit fees and verify originals within specified dates.
• Subsequent merit lists fill vacancies, with late fees of INR 100/- applicable until July 30, after which no admissions occur except for transfers or revaluation cases (up to 15 days post-results).
• Online registration and fee payment portals are used for many courses, especially first semesters, under the autonomous system linked to Sant Gahira Guru University.

Eligibility Criteria

• For UG programs like BA, B.Sc. (Bio/Math), B.Com., BCA (first semester), candidates need to pass 10+2 from a recognized board.

• PG eligibility requires a bachelor's degree in the relevant/allied subject (e.g., B.Sc. for M.Sc., B.Com. for M.Com.), with merit from graduation marks or entrance if applicable.
• Age limits are 22 years for UG first year and 27 for PG first year (as of July 1), with 3-year relaxations for women, SC/ST/OBC, and differently-abled; full-time employees follow state rules.
• Priority goes to Chhattisgarh residents, government employee wards, and Jammu-Kashmir migrants; external candidates need equivalence certificates.
• Reservations include 12% SC, 32% ST, 14% OBC, and 3% for freedom fighters' kin/differently-abled.
• Weightage (up to 10%) applies for NCC/NSS/scouts/sports/cultural achievements, added only to merit ranking, not eligibility.
