By midday, there were no long queues, underscoring the University’s preparedness and commitment to providing a seamless experience for students, parents and other stakeholders. The smooth exercise was facilitated by coordinated efforts across various University units, ensuring that students are efficiently guided through the admission, verification and registration processes.
