Dean of students’ welfare, NK Jha says that the online portal for MA, MCom and MSc courses have been opened and considering the large number of applications received and preparation of merit list in view of reservation criteria, it's a time taking process to conclude the admissions.
Further, he stated that many students are called for the counselling in small batches for the sake of social distancing and Covid-19 protocols. Admission process for BA, BSc and BCom has been completed for the affiliated colleges.
