“The admission date was extended for vacant seats in the departments and affiliated colleges. There is demand from some departments to increase seats for this year due to good response from students. Newly launched courses like MSc- Artificial Intelligence and Forensic Science, drew a good response from candidates,” he said.
On the point of low admission in some departments, he replied the departments head informed that postgraduate colleges from rural get admissions just because students do not want to attend regular classes while university one has to attend the classes daily.
