SRINAGAR: Directorate of Colleges, Higher Education Department, has published the Round-1 College/Major Allotment List for the Undergraduate (UG) admissions, Academic Session 2026–27, on the centralised admission portal, https://jkadmissions.in.  Allotted aspirants can now log in to the portal, check their allotment, and proceed with the prescribed admission formalities.

Allotted aspirants are required to deposit the prescribed admission fee online on the portal, and may either confirm their allotment by paying the full admission fee, or opt for upgradation by paying an upgradation fee of ₹1,000 to be considered for a higher preference in the next round. Aspirants who confirm their allotment shall thereafter report to the allotted college for physical verification of original documents within the notified window. Aspirants opting only for upgradation are not required to visit the college at this stage.

Aspirants who have not been allotted any college in Round-1 shall be given an opportunity to revise their preferences before Round-2. Aspirants who have not yet registered shall be provided a chance to seek admission against vacant seats at the time of the Spot Round. The revised admission timelines for fee deposition, document verification, Round-2, the Spot Round, and the commencement of class-work have been notified separately on the portal.

Newly admitted students have been advised to attend induction sessions at their colleges, which will orient them on the NEP 2020 framework, the FYUGP curriculum, and key features such as the option of switching between Major and Minor at the 3rd semester, the possibility of pursuing PG in the Minor, and direct PhD eligibility on completion of the 4-Year Honours-with-Research track. The Minor shall be allotted by colleges only after the conclusion of the Spot Round and before the commencement of class-work, on the basis of merit and student preferences. Admitted students are meanwhile advised to explore the various Minor combinations available in their respective colleges.

Director Colleges J&K, Dr. Sheikh Ajaz Bashir, appealed to all allotted aspirants to complete the admission formalities within the prescribed timelines to avoid cancellation of allotted seats, and urged unregistered aspirants and those not allotted in Round-1 to utilise the upcoming windows. Applicants may regularly check the JK Admissions Portal https://jkadmissions.in and follow the official WhatsApp Channel for Admissions 2026–27, linked on the portal, for regular updates.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
