From this year, those admitted to AzTU will not be required to submit any paper documents
Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU), in collaboration with representatives from the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, the Innovation and Digital Development Agency, and the Department of Education System Informatization under the Ministry of Science and Education, has introduced a groundbreaking change regarding student registration.
