How to fill UGC University Admission form 2020 – Avoid mistakes

March 16, 2020 By Hiran 3 Comments

    Many students do three common mistakes in filling University admission form by filling Uni-Codes, hence they do not get University admission at all or do not get preferred courses.

    Deadline to submit UGC University admission form - 9th April 2020.

    Details on Universities, How to fill the form correctly and and new details on 2019 New and Old A/L intake are explained here.

    Three mistakes to avoid when  filling UGC application

    1. Not applying for University selection at all
    Some do not apply because of low Z scores. But it is your right to apply for a course if you have a following minimum qualification.
    At least ‘S’ grades in all three approved subjects in one sitting, within a maximum of three
    attempts.
    A minimum mark of 30% for the Common General Paper

    2. Not applying highly preferred courses
    Some students with low Z-scores do not apply for a course with high z-score course. (Eg. Without applying Medicine applying only Biological science)
    Apply to as many eligible courses, regardless of the cut-off points of the previous year.
    Cut - off marks for selected courses of study of universities for a district may vary from year to year, due to

    • Performance of the students (Z - score) for that year
    • Number of seats available in the universities.
    • Some high Z - scores do A/L again and do not enter to courses (eg. Biological science courses)

    3. Not applying enough courses
    Some students only apply high Z-score courses (eg. Medicine, Japura Management)
    Mark maximum no of preferences to avoid the risk of not getting an eligible course due to your failure in indicating a preference

    How UGC select 2019 A/L New and Old syllabus Students to Universities

    • Uni-Code = A unique code (a unique identity) is given to each individual course
    • There are 225 Uni-Codes.
    • You should arrange Uni-Codes from the highest preferred Uni-Code to the lowest preferred

    Five Things to consider in selecting a Course in a University

    1. Your Z-Score - If you have high Z score then you can opt for highly demand courses such as Medicine, Engineering, Jayeawardenepura Management, Peradeniya Arts, Jayewardenepura Technology etc. However based on your Z-score you can select a suitable course.
    2. Your location - Some prefer university close to home, and some look for beautiful location with good university life.
    3. Quality of the course and lectures - Almost all state Universities offer good courses and their staff has good qualification with PhD s in the relevant field, and you can get lectures from the expert Professors in the particular field.
    4. Job prospects for particular course of study - There are common jobs only for graduates such as Foreign service, Sri Lanka Administrative Service, Customs, Graduate Teaching etc. If you have a degree from a state University you may be able to get a job in private sector or in government. However, some degrees have more employment opportunities: Medicine, Engineering, IT degrees etc.
    5. Student Life - Even though a course is good, look for student unrest and University life in the particular campus. Do not rely on negative media reports and popular belief, just talk to an alumni in that particular Faculty and get inside information.

      When is the last date for submitting for UGC admission?
      Do you need to attach a school leaving certificate or any authentication from School?
