According to a notice issued by the board on Monday (August 31), institutions can enter students’ information online from August 31 to September 10. Registration payments must then be completed between September 6 and September 13 to finalise the process.

Institutions will be able to prepare the final student lists on September 16 and 17. They can also print registration cards during the same period on A4-size, 100 GSM offset coloured paper as specified by the board.

To enrol in the course, applicants must have completed at least Class VIII or passed the JSC or JDC examinations.

A maximum of 50 students can be enrolled in each trade, comprising up to 40 regular students and 10 dropout students. However, a trade will be automatically cancelled if fewer than five students are enrolled.

Institutions must also clear all outstanding affiliation fees up to the 2025-26 fiscal year to complete the registration process.
