For example, the enrolment of 2021-22 covers the enrolment of July 2021 and January 2022. Accordingly, the university conducted its examination twice a year — in June and December every year. 'In every examination, approximately 8 lakh students appear at more than 800 examination centres across the country as well as at our overseas centres,' said Rupam.
