Initially, the university had communicated that the system would open today, creating anticipation among eager applicants.
Excitement quickly turned to confusion as students logged in to select their preferred hostels, only to find the portal inaccessible.
Questions spread rapidly online, with some wondering if technical issues were on their end or a broader system problem was at play.
Earlier reports by the popular educational platform, TheVokOfficial on X, had indicated that the accommodation system would open on December 16, 2025, at 1 PM.
Many students had been preparing in advance, eager to secure their spots, only to encounter a closed portal.
Minutes after the expected opening time, TheVokOfficial shared an update noting that the system’s launch had been postponed until further notice.
This sudden change left students in uncertainty, sparking discussions and complaints across social media platforms.
Reasons behind the delay revealed online
While the university has not officially explained the reason for the postponement, some students online hinted at technical difficulties. One user wrote:
"This year, you guys have been disgracing the school. A lot of channels are created, everyone shares updates anyhow, and the IT system keeps shaking with on-and-off updates on the admission portal. Even you, VOK, post something and later say it’s not official."
Read the X details below.
The official date for opening the accommodation system has yet to be communicated, leaving many students anxious and awaiting further instructions.
Meanwhile, newly admitted students are still expected to officially report to school on Tuesday, January 18, 2026.
