The online registration process began on June 1 and will continue till June 19.

Few students are complaining of the admission portal being "slow" but the varsity authorities maintained that they had arranged for servers keeping in mind the expected traffic on the website and the students should check after some time in case of any problems.

The first cut-off list will be announced on June 27 and unlike previous years, the varsity will release only five cut-off lists.
