According to the university administration, the entry test is being held for BSN, DPT, Pharm-D, and BSMT programs. Initially, 4,839 candidates registered for the test, but after scrutiny, only 4,200 were declared eligible.

To ensure transparency, seating arrangements for 4,600 candidates have been completed. A total of 257 examiners and 8 to 10 cluster heads have been appointed as team leaders to monitor the examination process and prevent any irregularities.

OMR sheets are being used for recording answers, which will help ensure accuracy and speed in result preparation.

Candidates have been instructed to report at 09:00 am, while the test will be held from 11:00 am to 01:00 pm at both university campuses.
