The University official added that a common format and layout will be formulated online to assist and guide colleges to communicate their decisions virtually. The colleges will be asked to give notifications to the students through an electronic mode if their admission has been put on hold or is being denied. The college can verify the original certificates and mark sheets of the students once the University begins its new academic session.
