What this desk covers, and what it waits for

Notices from PMDC and the admitting universities, with the date read from the notice itself and the source linked on every story.

A notice, not a rumour

A story starts from a published notice or a university page. If the only source is a screenshot in a group chat, it is not a story yet.

The date and the source

A deadline is only useful with the page it came from. Each update carries the publication date and a link to the notice.

What is not announced yet

When a date, a fee or a policy has not been published, the desk says so. It does not fill the gap with last year's number.

For the application round itself, read the admissions guide or calculate your aggregate. Every story names its source, and the desk is corrected in public when a notice changes.
