Registrar Prof. Md Mahtab Alam Rizvi added that the press, equipped with modern technology, positions JMI as a role model for other universities. “The Jamia Press will provide our research community with a reliable platform to showcase their contributions with significantly reduced turnaround times,” he stated.
