Additional key points are outlined below:
Admissions will be based solely on the marks achieved in the qualifying examination, following established guidelines. No entrance tests will be conducted for admission purposes. The board has stated that strict measures will be enforced against junior colleges that admit students on any other criteria.
Principals are permitted to grant provisional admissions based on the student’s SSC Hall ticket initially. However, these admissions will be finalized only upon the submission of the SSC Pass Certificate or DigiLocker Certificate, along with the Transfer Certificate issued by the school.
Principals of unaided junior colleges have been instructed to limit admissions to the approved number of sections and to a maximum of 88 students per section. For Vocational Paramedical courses, the maximum is set at 30 students per section, while for Non-Paramedical courses, it is capped at 40 students per section. They are also instructed not to admit students into combinations that have been discontinued by the Board. Admissions into additional sections may only occur after receiving permission from the Board.
The board has requested that college administrations prominently display at the entrance of their buildings the number of sections approved by the Board of Intermediate Education for the academic year 2025-26, along with the number of filled and vacant seats in each section. This information should be updated daily.
The board has directed the principals of Government, Private Aided, Private Unaided, Co-operative, A.P. Residential, Social Welfare Residential, Tribal Welfare Residential, Incentive, A.P. Model Junior Colleges, MJPAPBCWREIS, High School Plus, and Composite Degree Colleges that offer a two-year Intermediate course in both General and Vocational streams to promptly enter the necessary details of students enrolling in their institutions via the udiseplus.gov.in portal logins, immediately following the start of admissions.
To enhance user experience, the UDISEPLUS portal will be improved by integrating data from the SSC for Class X students as they seek admission to Intermediate 1st year. Additionally, a feature will be available in UDISEPLUS to facilitate the transition of students from 1st year to 2nd year for Intermediate courses.
Private Junior Colleges have been warned against issuing any ranks for the Intermediate Public Examination in any capacity, in order to safeguard the interests of students and their parents.
Furthermore, principals are required to include the mother’s name alongside the father’s name in the admission register, reflecting the information recorded in the qualifying examination. They are also urged to implement measures to ensure the safety of female students.
