The college releases the various merit lists followed by the Counselling details for the shortlisted students on its official website gbpmgcrampur.edu.in. However, for some courses, the college may ask students to report for physical counselling rounds. This completely depends on the discretion of the college for each academic year. Therefore, you are advised to keep checking the official website for all notices regarding counselling and GB Pant Memorial Govt P.G College admissions.

Hope this helps!
