The portal went live on August 2 and the registration process for nearly 70,000 seats for UG courses will end on August 31.

Regarding a query related to recognition of different boards, officials said, DU recognise all the boards that are recognised by the University Grants Commission, Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) and Education Ministry.

At COBSE portal, it can be checked whether a board is acceptable or not. 

An official also notified the bulletin of information has grade conversion for IB and University of Cambridge. “In due course of time, an equivalence table will be uploaded on the website. The Equivalence Committee of the university will decide which subjects from other boards will be equivalent to which subjects in CBSE and it will help the students when they have to calculate the marks,” he added.

The senior faculty member also said an automatic calculator on the portal will calculate the marks of theory and practical in the ratio of 70:30 in case the boards do not give marks in that ratio.
