The deadline for submitting admission forms under the new Sindh E-Centralised
College Admission Programme (SECCAP) has been extended for the fourth time,
announced its chairman Prof Dr Nasir Ansar.
Ansar, who is also the director-general of colleges in Sindh, said the last date
for the submission of online and manual placement forms to the designated
branches of Sindh Bank for admissions to Class XI in the government colleges of
Karachi had been extended to September 2 from August 28.
The online system was introduced on July 27 but later it was made optional
following protests by students and parents over the cumbersome procedure for
applying for a place in colleges.
It aims to eventually replace the Centralised Admission Policy, which had been
devised in 2000 for admissions to Class XI.
Under the new admission policy, candidates have to fill out the admission form
online, print it out and then submit it to the nearest branch of Sindh Bank.
The authorities require from the candidates to download the brochure and then
select the colleges they want to study in. Once filled out and submitted, the
choices mentioned cannot be changed or reverted.
The form has to be submitted with a fee of Rs60, and photocopies of the admit
card and the mark sheet.
