Prof. Fayaz said that the NRI seats were approved late, but still managed to generate an enthusiastic response. “We received strong backing from the University administration on NRI admissions. “The idea is to create an inclusive space for higher learning that reflects both local and global aspirations,” Prof. Fayaz said. He acknowledged gaps in outreach regarding NRI admissions. With proper planning and timely approvals, we can easily admit more than 100 NRI students annually,” he said.
