The Andaman College (ANCOL) has announced a second round of admission counselling for its undergraduate programmes, with a few seats still remaining after the first phase of admissions. Aspirants whose names appear in the final merit list have been advised to attend the counselling on September 1, carrying all required documents for verification.
Eight undergraduate courses are covered under this round. In the morning session, from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm, counselling will be conducted for B.Com (General), B.Com (Corporate Secretaryship), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), and B.Sc in Psychology. In the afternoon, from 2 pm to 5 pm, the process will continue for BA in Sociology, BA in English, BA in Economics, and Bachelor of Performing Arts in Hindustani Music (both vocal and instrumental streams).
Candidates attending counselling are required to bring original certificates along with photocopies of their educational and personal documents. These include Class X and Class XII pass certificates and mark sheets, transfer certificates, category certificates for OBC, ST, Divyang or EWS categories, Aadhaar card, local certificate, copy of bank passbook’s first page, and two passport-size photographs. The documentation is essential for final seat confirmation.
The second counselling is a significant opportunity for students who could not secure seats in the first round, as well as for those who may have missed the earlier process. It also allows the college to fill up vacant seats efficiently while ensuring that all eligible students listed in the merit roll are given fair consideration.
ANCOL, one of the premier higher education institutions in the islands, offers a mix of commerce, humanities, management, psychology, and performing arts courses. The diversity of options attracts students from across the islands, making the admission process competitive. The announcement of a second round underscores the demand and the effort to ensure no seat goes unutilized.
For students, the counselling process is not merely a formality but a decisive step in securing their academic path. Institutions across the country emphasise the importance of timely reporting for counselling, as delays or incomplete documentation often result in forfeiture of opportunities. ANCOL’s clear instructions aim to avoid such issues.
The admissions process also reflects the broader emphasis on higher education access in the islands. With limited institutions available locally, each seat carries significant weight for aspiring students. The availability of a few additional seats provides fresh chances to those determined to pursue higher studies without relocating to the mainland.
The September 1 counselling session will therefore be a crucial day for both the institution and aspirants. For the college, it ensures completion of the admission cycle smoothly, while for students, it represents the gateway to courses shaping their future careers.
