Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Section !

The Centralised Counters is a step initiated towards providing better services in processing of different applications for issue of Memorandum of marks, Medium Certificates, Rank Certificates, Provisional Certificates, Degree Certificates, and Duplicate Degree Certificates etc.
The EDP Section is headed by an Additional Controller of Examinations, which is divided basically into three sections namely:
