ML Jadhav, Registrar, UoP, said the university was all set with the exam including the online registration that started from May 26.
This is UoP's 25th examination and officials are in great spirits to announce the silver jubilee examination.
"There are certain changes in paper III for the betterment of the applicants. Earlier, there were 40-mark questions where students wrote up to 1000 word," said S S Aatre, Dy Registrar, SET department. "But from this year, the questions will be of 20 marks with 500-word answers. It will become much easier for the students to score marks in this paper."
