Every office is in the administrative block unless the faculty concerned has its own counter.
▪
Quote your roll number or application number in the subject line. A query without one takes twice as long to answer.
▪
Send one query per email. Messages that bundle four questions are usually answered on the first and forgotten on the rest.
▪
Allow two working days for a reply. The offices are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
▪
For a missed examination or a lost admit card, telephone the examination cell rather than emailing — it is faster.
