Online admissions to the Goa College of Fisheries Science for the academic year 2026-27 commenced on Thursday, with interested candidates able to submit applications until November 22 through the Samarth e-Gov portal.
The college will initially function from a renovated fisheries training centre at Ela, Old Goa, while plans are underway for a permanent campus in the area.
According to a notification issued by the Directorate of Higher Education on November 11, online applications will be accepted until November 22. Interested candidates can apply through the Samarth e-Gov portal available on the Directorate of Higher Education’s website, www.dhe.goa.gov.in
The college is being established under a government-run society functioning under the Agriculture Department, on the administrative pattern of the Goa College of Agriculture, which has already commenced operations under the same arrangement.
The fisheries college will initially function from the existing fisheries training centre premises near the Alla Dawji farm area at Ela, Old Goa. The facility is being renovated and modified to meet the infrastructure requirements of a full-fledged degree-granting institution. A permanent campus is also planned near the existing farm premises in Old Goa. However, officials said timelines for its construction are yet to be finalised.
The college will prepare the merit list and conduct counselling. Applicants can contact the college through telephone or email for further information. Detailed guidelines for the online application process will be available on the admission portal.
