Late applications will not be accepted, so it is important to register promptly to secure your spot.

The walk-in application process will be closely monitored to comply with Covid-19 restrictions.
A communique inviting walk-in applications for Management and Commerce has already been issued.

Once approved, faculties will alert the successful students and invite them to come in and register.
