Student advisory
Besides admit cards, students have been told to bring any one of ID proofs. They include Aadhar, driving licence, election card (original) etc. College ID will also be accepted. Students have been told to reach exam centre two hours in advance. Mobile phone, pager, calculator, digital gadget and other electronic equipments will not be allowed in the examination hall.
Timings in admit cards messed up
A major goof-up occurred during issuance of admit cards to students. In many admit cards the timing of the exams was printed wrong. For Group A and C students, exam is from 10 am but their admit cards showed exam time from 2 pm.
When students, who were regularly checking the university website for CET updates, informed the university about the goof-up on Monday, the university corrected the mistake. A public note was also uploaded on the university website suggesting the students to ignore the timings mentioned on their admit cards and follow the one mentioned on the website.
