Students can apply for 70,000 seats in 63 colleges till August 31. The admission will be based on Class XII marks, but the cutoff release dates are yet to be announced by the university. The DU portal is expected to go live on Monday evening.
Due to the pandemic, no major changes have been made from last year’s admission process. For 15 undergraduate programmes, and postgraduate, MPhil, and Ph.D. admissions, an entrance test would be conducted by National Testing Agency, the dates for which would be announced at a later stage. The registration process for PG, MPhil/Ph.D. began on July 26. The last date for application to these courses is August 21.
This year, no change has been announced in the eligibility criteria and even the registration fees remain the same.
Rajeev Gupta, the chairperson of admissions, said, “Like last year, the admission process will be online. No student will be required to visit colleges or the university office. All trial-based admissions will be conducted based on certificates. The only change is that students will have to apply based on four years of performance, but they are free to use the best of three years’ certificates. We are aware that many would have participated in online events this year, that’s why we are giving this option.”
The admissions branch is working with the principals of colleges on the modalities for deciding the cutoffs to avoid over or under-admissions. “Ideally, we would want the admission to be completed within five cutoff lists. We will see once the process starts. A special admission drive for the reserved category would be conducted as we cannot leave those seats vacant,” said Gupta.
The university has started a new portal this year to ease the admission process. It has been developed in such a manner that it will easily open on a mobile phone.
Sanjeev Singh, joint director, DU computer centre, said, “This year, the portal will have all information, starting from fees of each college to seat distribution and categories. Students will be communicated through all possible channels and their issues will be resolved in real-time.”
To resolve the queries of students, the university would also be conducting webinars and Open Days, the dates for which would be notified soon.
