UG Admissions Await UGC Approval

As of now, NOU has not received approval for undergraduate courses. A delegation from the university will revisit the University Grants Commission (UGC) soon to seek permission for UG programs. Once approved, admissions for undergraduate courses will also commence.

Vice Chancellor’s Statement

NOU’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sanjay Kumar, confirmed that the admission process for PG courses will begin on October 16. He assured that efforts are underway to secure approval for UG courses, and the university will announce admissions for those as soon as approval is granted.

This development marks a significant step for NOU, which had been unable to offer admissions for the past two years. Interested students are encouraged to apply early to secure their place in one of Bihar’s leading open universities.
