Why is this extension important for Students?

The extension of the registration deadline is a major relief for many candidates who missed the earlier deadline due to board exams, technical issues, or confusion about the application process. Now, students have additional time to complete their forms, arrange documents, and pay the fees. However, candidates are advised not to wait until the last date, as the website may experience heavy traffic near the deadline.
