What IIUC is

The program list on the admission page continues beyond the first screen, so confirm the full current list on the site rather than relying on this excerpt.

Practical information before you apply

The site's top navigation covers IQAC, Contacts, Transport, Career, About, Administration, Faculties, Admission, Research, and Library, plus a Log in area. Notices, press releases, and tenders are collected under a notices section, and there is a picture gallery and a virtual visit option for seeing the campus remotely.

A sensible sequence: review the admission advertisement and program-wise fee structure, read the admission instructions and FAQ, submit the online application, print your admit card, sit the admission test, then check results and print your offer letter if selected. Use the contacts page for anything the site does not answer.
