Spring Campaign
No registration dates are published for this round.
Official important-dates page lists campaign windows only at month level: Spring = Nov–Feb (so the Spring 2027 window is open now), Fall = Jun–Sep, Medical = Jul–Jan. Exact day-level dates are not published on the public page as of 2026-10-30 — they appear on the admissions portal once a campaign opens.
