We should be allowed to take provisional admission, otherwise we will lose a year,” stated a BA (General) scholar of CDOL.

In a meeting today it was said students of the centre will also be given time till December 31 like the others but it will be the centre’s responsibility to make sure all the documents are in place by then.”
