University officials stated that admissions under the Multiple Entry Mode for Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUP) will begin this session in line with NEP 2020 guidelines. The move is intended to provide greater academic flexibility and improved access to higher education.
Expansion of Entrance Test Centres
To enhance accessibility for students across different regions, the university has added three new entrance examination centres — Jaipur, Dehradun, and Kishanganj. With this addition, the total number of entrance test centres nationwide has increased to 11. The expansion is expected to benefit aspirants from various parts of the country by reducing travel constraints.
