Haryana's Department of Higher Education has extended the registration deadline for undergraduate admissions in government colleges. The new deadline is July 12, 2026 . This extension applies to admissions for the 2026 academic year.
Revised Admission Schedule Expected
A revised admission schedule will be released soon. Students should monitor the official website for updates. The department anticipates more vacant seats this year. This is due to a growing student preference for professional and science-based courses.
Popularity of Professional Courses
Courses like Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) are seeing high demand. This trend pulls students away from traditional programs like Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Commerce (BCom).
