The last date for the application was decided as June 21, however, on Wednesday, the DTE extended the deadline.
Patil said, “This year, 1,15,000 students applied for the course since the beginning of the admission process, and the response is still good. Similarly, some students are facing a delay in receiving documents like non-creamy layers and income certificates. Considering all these facts the department has decided to extend the deadline till June 30.”
