The Affiliation and Registration Branches operate under the Office of the Registrar of the University. The Registrar serves as the administrative head of both branches.

Functions of the Affiliation Branch

According to the Statutes of the University, applications are invited from institutions (both public and private) seeking affiliation with the University. Colleges are required to submit their applications on the prescribed proforma by 31st May each year. Upon receipt, applications are scrutinized by the staff of the Affiliation Branch. After verification and completion of the required documents as per affiliation statutes, the case is submitted to the Vice-Chancellor, who may refer it to the Affiliation Committee for inspection or visitation of the institution.

The Affiliation Committee, a statutory body of the University, conducts inspections regarding availability of facilities, faculties and infrastructure of institutions applying for affiliation and submits its recommendations to the Vice-Chancellor/Syndicate for consideration. Subsequently, the Office of the Registrar issues the office orders to the concerned colleges accordingly.

Functions of the Registration Branch

The Registration Branch manages students’ academic records, including registration and enrolment for both in-campus departments and affiliated colleges, and migration among affiliated college. After a college is granted affiliation, the Branch issues an admission schedule to affiliated colleges. In accordance with the schedule, colleges admit students and submit their admission returns and enrolment lists to the Registration Branch. The Branch staff then scrutinize and verify the students’ eligibility and issue registration cards to eligible candidates.
