“Nominations for each of the categories will end on 30 March and the list of nominated students would be made public first week in April.”

“We have experts on all campuses who can always assess the students’ votes and tell if they actually nominated and voted the right people,” he said.
The students have been advised to visit www.campusheathq.com to get guidelines on how to nominate their favourite candidates for the awards ceremony.
