Shantiram Poudel, the head of the Branch, reported that the server recovery process is still underway. While 75 percent of the data for students who applied before December 8 has been recovered, efforts are ongoing for the data recovery from December 8 onwards.
Poudel stated, "We have advised those who applied since December 8 to submit their applications again. We will issue the NOC after physically receiving their original documents once the data recovery is complete."
