Regional Director, Dr. A. H. Rizvi emphasised the university’s commitment for providing quality, accessible and flexible educational opportunities to learners across the Kashmir Division including the UT of Ladakh. Keeping the request of the stakeholder, in view the University has extended the last date of admission till February 15 to its various programmes for the ongoing academic session in order to accommodate potential learners who were unable to complete their admission formalities within the initially announced timeline.
