Hy,

To join a degree college in India without a Direct Online Student Tracking (DOST) application, it generally depends on the specific admission procedures of the college and the state you are in. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Eligibility : You typically need to have completed your 12th-grade education with the required percentage to apply for degree programs. If you meet the eligibility criteria, some colleges may allow you to apply directly.

2. Direct Admission : Many colleges offer direct admission options, especially if they have vacant seats after the regular admission process. You may need to visit the college’s admissions office or check their website for direct admission procedures.

3. State-Specific Rules : Some states have centralized admission processes (like DOST in Telangana) that require you to register through their platform. However, in many cases, colleges may also allow offline applications for certain programs.

4. Consulting College Administration : It is best to contact the college directly for the most accurate information regarding their admission policies and to see if they accept applications without DOST.
