The new session, initially set to begin on August 1, was postponed due to delay in announcment of the common university entrance test scores amid allegations of irregularities.

Out of these, 65,775 admissions were confirmed in the first round with 43,067 candidates opting for upgrades and 20,829 choosing to freeze their seats.
