Putting behind all the disruption in the examination process, the entrance examinations to BDS and B.Tech were re-conducted successfully by the Jamia Milia Islamia University. The entrance exams that were scheduled to be held on June 13 and June 14 were re-scheduled due to a cheating scam in the B.Tech Entrance.
