JAMMU, Oct 9: A meeting was held in the office of Prof Manoj Dhar, Vice Chancellor (VC), Cluster University of Jammu to take stock of the current admission status for the academic session 2020-21 and also to explore the possible means of accommodating most students in the constituent colleges and schools of the Cluster University.
