The university had set November 10 as deadline to accept declaration from these students.

The authorities claimed that 37 students did not submit declaration about their residential status, so they would not be considered for round-II online counselling for the admission to MBBS and BDS courses state quota seats in Punjab.

Other than Punjab, these students have applied for the benefit of residence in Rajasthan, Haryana and Chandigarh.

The university authorities stated that it would not consider the candidature of three other students, who in their declaration submitted with the BFUHS, admitted to have applied for the benefit of residence in Haryana other than Punjab.
