"In the instant cases, the order for continuation of affiliation was passed by the University only on 20.8.2019, within two days after our judgment wherein we directed the University to grant continuation of affiliation.

For the affiliated institutions and institutions directed to be affiliated, time limit for admissions to B.Pharm/M.Pharm courses be extended by ten days from today.
