The shortcomings and problems that existed on the old website are now taken care of on the newly launched website. Allahabad University’s Vice-Chancellor, RR Tiwari, launched this website at a function held on 17th August 2020 at the university.

The newly developed website includes a two-level authentication security feature as the previous version of the website lacked in admin security. Also, there was no cache system and no page compression which led to the slow performance of the website.

As informed by the public relations officer (PRO) of AU, Shailendra Mishra, the newly refurbished website contains two-level authentication and a re-written dashboard so that it is not visible to the public.
