When UNIMAID reopens
UNIMAID will reopen for the new session on Thursday, Jan 15, 2026.
That date marks the start of resumption activities for the 2025/2026 session; students should take note and act early, even if the timeline feels tight.
Registration dates for new and returning students
Registration will run in batches, with different start dates for freshers and returning students.
New students
- Registration begins on Jan 15, 2026.
Returning students
- Registration commences on Monday, 26 Jan 2026.
The circular keeps it clear: the two groups do not begin registration on the same day; this helps the school manage flow and reduce delays (a small but Real detail students notice on campus).
Lecture start date for all students
Academic activities for all students will begin on Monday, February 2, 2026.
This lecture start date applies across the board, for both new entrants and returning undergraduates; it is the point the session moves from registration to full academic work.

The management also sent goodwill messages to staff and students, wishing everyone a successful academic session.
