• The platform covers 460 government and aided colleges affiliated with 17 universities and allows candidates to apply to up to 25 courses in a single window.
• Admissions will begin with merit lists and seat allotment on July 6, followed by an upgrade round from July 17 to 20 and a mop-up phase starting August 2, with classes set to begin on August 1.
