The deadline is subject to change depending on the Grade XII board examinations. The academic year for the fifth batch of undergraduates will begin on August 18, 2018.
The University strengthened its Sciences department as it launched pure majors in Physics and Biology from the academic year 2017-2018. Chemistry as a pure major will be available to students later this year.
