All other students are required to register and enroll for the courses they desire to take in the coming semester. They have to enroll for these courses at the beginning of the new semester, based on the previous semester results. This allows them to make changes in the list of courses already registered for. Before enrolment, students should clear all dues including any fees to be paid and should not have any disciplinary issues pending. The dates for registration and enrolment will be given in the academic calendar. Any late registration or enrolment, allowed up to 7 working days from the stipulated date, will attract a late fee.
