The Directorate of Links and International Affairs (DLIA) was established by the University Council in July 2018. It is under the office of Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic (DVC-AC). The new Directorate does not work on its own to accomplish its tasks. It deals with various offices within the University. The Directorate is dealing with foreign admissions at both levels and coordinating other tasks such as examination, fee collection, recruitment of part time tutors, supervision of research students and collaboration with various institutions abroad.
