Expert Tips for Students
- PRN Number Importance: Always use your 16-digit Permanent Registration Number (PRN) to download hall tickets and check results. Ensure this matches the details on the timetable.
- Draft vs. Final Programme: Students often confuse the "Draft" timetable with the "Final" one. Always re-verify your dates 10 days before the exam, as the University frequently adjusts schedules based on local requirements.
- Hall Ticket Discrepancies: If your hall ticket shows a different exam center than your college, contact the University Helpline or the CoE office immediately. You must carry a valid Photo ID (Aadhaar/College ID) along with the printed hall ticket.
