HOW DOES IT WORK?

Under the provision of Academic Advising (AA), all Year-1 Entry and Senior Year Admission UGC full-time undergraduate students are assigned an academic advisor in their first year of study, and so do some Year-1 SF full/part-time undergraduate students and Year-1 students of Diploma/Higher Diploma/PGDE programmes will join AA on a voluntary basis.
