Utkal University

The PG Council of Utkal University was forced to shift from the ongoing e-admission to offline admission after hackers attempted to hack the admission website (www.eadmission.utkaluniversity.ac.in).

The server of the website was deactivated by the university officials as there were frequent attempts to breach the security walls.

The university website was also defaced by cyber criminals who identified themselves as ‘Pak Cyber Attackers’.
