RGNUL Admission FAQs

Ques. Can a candidate change their course preferences during the counselling process?

Ans. Yes, candidates are allowed to revise course preferences within the deadlines of each merit list round. This flexibility helps students adapt to seat availability, shifting priorities, or strategic decisions based on anticipated competition. Once a merit list round closes, changes are no longer permitted. Therefore, candidates must carefully consider their course choices during each round to maximize their chances of getting a preferred programme. The university advises reviewing seat matrices, previous year trends, and course popularity before submitting preferences to make informed decisions.

Ques. Are physically challenged students accommodated during admission?

Ans. Yes, RGNUL reserves seats for PwD candidates and provides necessary support facilities to make campus life accessible. Candidates must submit valid disability certificates during counselling. Support may include accessible classrooms, examination accommodations, and hostel facilities tailored to their needs. This ensures that differently-abled students can participate fully in academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities, fostering an inclusive learning environment.

Ques. Are scholarships available for new admissions, and how can students apply?

Ans. RGNUL offers merit-based and need-based scholarships to support students financially and reward academic excellence. Eligibility criteria, application deadlines, and documentation requirements are detailed on the official website. Early application is advised, as scholarships are limited and assessed based on academic performance, financial need, and other criteria.
