Meanwhile, the DM University Students' Union president Irom Dimocha has threatened to intensify the ongoing protests if Manipur University fails to keep its promise.

Manipur University registrar Prof W Chandbabu issued an order allowing provisional admission to students who are on the merit list based on their CUET-2024 scores, even if their results from qualifying examinations are still pending.

Furthermore, until their admission is confirmed, provisionally admitted students will not receive University enrolment numbers.

The university has also addressed the issue of dropped candidates from the merit list due to document non-submission.

Departments are authorised to increase seats by 10 percent of the notified intake to accommodate these candidates solely for the academic session 2024-25.This decision will be reviewed by the Academic Council, the notice added.
