All degrees, whether DMC, PG or PhD, will be 100% online. Immediately after the successful run of the National Academic Depository (NAD), it will be made open to all colleges.”

In addition to this, PU will soon make the process of getting the process of obtaining transcripts online. The varsity will launch online verification of testimonials, which will help students get transcripts from anywhere in the world. The entire process will go online in two weeks. According to Singh, 99% of students going abroad for higher studies choose Canada. “It has been seen that when students are abroad or can’t come to collect their transcripts, their elderly parents do so. We don’t want them to face any kind of inconvenience,” said Singh.
