From 11-7-2016, the details of withdrawals taking place till 12-8-2016 is as below:

The University has no control on the number of withdrawals happening as the candidates are free to choose from various options of courses and Educational Institutions available for further studies. This has caused a great difficulty in filling the vacant seats.

The Committee is constituted to review and advise the University in matters related to fulfillment of reservation quota in various courses for SC/ST/OBC/PWD. The Committee in order to fulfill the reservation percentages recommended for granting supernumerary seat to 10 SC/ST/OBC/PWD candidates who are next in the waiting list for admission for PG courses.
