The Assam State Higher Education Admission Portal, part of the Union Government's SAMARTH-e Gov portal, was officially launched on Wednesday for students seeking admission to all state universities and government-aided higher education institutions across the state. The platform was inaugurated by Education Minister Ranoj Pegu.
During the inaugural event, Pegu stated that students will be able to enrol in every institution of higher learning in the state using this portal beginning this academic year. He further stated that the number of students enrolled in higher education institutions is growing year after year. Furthermore, because one student applies for admission to multiple universities on the basis of merit at the same time, other candidates experience challenges in gaining admission to those institutions or are left behind. Students, however, will no longer encounter this issue thanks to this gateway.
Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu took to social media on Wednesday to announce that state government teachers will not be assigned jobs at the upcoming Ambubachi Mela.
