What did Jinka University announce?
Tikvah University reported on Tikimt 2, 2019 E.C. (12 October 2026) that Jinka University has set Tikimt 9 and 10, 2019 E.C. (19 and 20 October 2026) as the registration days for the 2019 academic year. Tikvah Education posted the same announcement on the same day, with a list of documents to bring.
The start of classes, Tikimt 12, 2019 E.C. (22 October 2026), appears only in Tikvah University's report. Tikvah Education's post does not mention it, so confirm the date with the university before you travel.

- Freshmen placed at Jinka University for the 2019 academic year in the freshman programme.
- Students who followed the 2018 remedial programme and reached a pass mark.
- Students placed at Jinka University from universities in the Tigray region.
Neither report names any other group of students.
