Admission-related activity is set to intensify in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as two prominent institutions move ahead with their schedules for the upcoming academic year. Tagore Government College of Education (TGCE) has announced that the provisional merit list for its two-year B.Ed. programme for 2025-26 will be published on September 2, while Andaman Law College will conduct the second round of counselling for its five-year integrated B.A. LL.B. course on the same day. The overlap highlights the busy admission season as hundreds of aspiring students await outcomes in professional courses.
At TGCE, the provisional merit list for the B.Ed. programme will go live on the official admission portal at 4 pm on September 2. Candidates will have the opportunity to raise claims and objections against the list from September 3 to 4 in offline mode and from September 5 to 6 online. These representations must be supported by valid documents and submitted within working hours, either directly at the college or through the designated admission email. The final merit list will then be published on September 8.
Counselling for the B.Ed. programme is scheduled for September 10 at 9:30 am in the TGCE auditorium. Classes for the selected candidates will commence on September 11 at 8:40 am. If any seats remain vacant after the first round of counselling, a second round will be conducted on September 12. All candidates attending counselling will be required to produce original certificates along with photocopies and pay the requisite fees on the day of admission. Those failing to appear at the session will automatically forfeit their claim, with the next eligible candidate from the merit list being considered in their place.
Parallel to this, Andaman Law College has announced its second counselling session for the B.A. LL.B. programme to be held on September 2 at 10 am in the college auditorium. The session will address unfilled seats across various categories, which will be allotted in order of general merit. Interested candidates, including those in the general category, have been advised to attend the session. Those absent will not be considered later, and their seats will be passed on to other eligible candidates.
Together, the schedules announced by TGCE and Andaman Law College reflect the structured but time-sensitive process that governs admissions across higher education institutions in the islands. For students, the dates mark crucial opportunities to secure entry into professional streams that shape their future careers. Teacher education and legal studies continue to be among the most sought-after programmes, drawing aspirants from across the islands each year.
The clarity of timelines issued by both institutions is expected to help candidates prepare better and avoid last-minute hurdles. Admission authorities have reiterated that claims and objections must be submitted strictly within the given windows, as requests beyond the deadline will not be entertained. This insistence on adherence to process ensures transparency and fairness in the admission cycle.
As September begins, the academic atmosphere in Sri Vijaya Puram is poised to intensify with both institutions holding key sessions within days of each other. With TGCE preparing for its provisional merit list release and Andaman Law College ready for its second round of counselling, hundreds of aspiring teachers and lawyers will soon know the next steps in their academic journeys.
The synchronised schedules underscore the island administration’s emphasis on orderly admissions and timely commencement of classes for the academic year 2025-26. For candidates, punctuality, documentation, and compliance with instructions will be the deciding factors as the admission season reaches its peak.
