Demand for Improvement in University Admission Portal

Ujjain: A demand has been raised for immediate improvements to the admission portal of Samrat Vikramaditya University, Ujjain, after an applicant was reportedly denied admission to the Master of Arts (M.A.) program due to a technical limitation in the online system.
