After receiving an overwhelming response for the Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL) admissions, Mumbai University announced on Sunday that it will extend the dates till September 20 for all the courses. Therefore, the students who have been unable to secure admissions, have been invited to reach out to IDOL in this extended time.
According to the reports, so far, 65,000 students have successfully completed the registration process online and with the date extension, the institute is expecting more students, especially in the first years to pour in.
The IDOL spokesperson stated that many students were unable to secure admissions due to reasons like heavy rainfall and thus, IDOL extended the admission dates. He also added that the process is being conducted by complying to the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines.
