/* ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   Bachelors admissions skin (galv admissions v0.1) — Subash's UG admissions comp
   CSS VERBATIM (bachelors-page-code.html; exam-hub palette family, Swiper).
   Loaded ONLY on the bachelors admissions_program post (admissions_styles.php
   branches by slug — 36 selectors overlap the PG admissions.css with different
   values, so the two skins never co-load). Do NOT re-skin — fixes go through
   the designer comp first (verbatim doctrine).
