Online admissions begin at PUCIT

On the first day, 1,500 applicants sign up

LAHORE: The Punjab University has officially inaugurated online admissions at Punjab University College of Information Technology (PUCIT).

Punjab University Vice Chancellor Dr Zafar Mueen Nasir inaugurated PUCIT’s indigenous single sign on admission system. On the first day of online registration, more than 1,500 applicants signed up and printed their challan forms to submit the fee. This year, PUCIT expects to receive a record number of applicants due to this hassle-free, automated, and online process at their doorstep.

Every year, PUCIT attracts more than 16,000 students from all over the country to appear in the entrance tests for admission to the various academic degree programmes in the college.

This year, the PUCIT has built and deployed an automated online system to facilitate students to register for the entrance tests at the college. The system has been built in-house and hosted on a cloud to ensure high availability and good performance. The automated solution allows students to register online, print challan forms, pay entrance test fee to their nearest Habib Bank Limited (HBL) branches and print roll number slips.

The system will greatly facilitate students to complete the process of registration without visiting the campus.

Previously, students were required to travel to the college premises and spend considerable time in long queues to complete the entrance test registration process.
