In an online meeting chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of NEDUET Professor Sarosh Lodhi, NED’s academic council has already approved the substantial changes in the university’s admission policy.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, the organisation will soon permit the new policy of admission which will be followed by an official announcement.
Professor Sarosh stated, “The NED University will now be starting its academic session in October. Since the intermediate exams have been delayed due to the spread of COVID-19 and pre-engineering results will not be released until October, we have decided to give admissions on the basis of marks obtained in the first year of intermediate.”
