Delhi University admission forms out on June 2 Manash Pratim Gohain, TNN | May 8, 2014, 02.53 AM IST
NEW DELHI: The process of admissions to 54,000 seats in Delhi University's undergraduate courses will begin on June 2 with the availability of centralized forms, while the first cutoff list across 65 colleges will be announced on June 24. The last date for applications is June 16. Announcing the schedule, including the dates for cutoffs, open house and additional cutoffs, the university on Wednesday said the admission policy introduced last year for the four-year-undergraduate programme remains largely unchanged. Among the changes this year, the university has done away with the additional admission criteria allowed at the college level. Making the process more inclusive, it has decided to allow vocational students to apply for undergraduate courses. These students, however, will be at a disadvantage as 10% of the maximum marks in each subject will be deducted while calculating their best-of-four aggregate. The university is also doing away entrance exams for Hindi journalism, social work, Spanish, German, French and Italian. Admissions to these undergraduate courses will be based on best-of-four aggregates. Despite speculation on a cap being introduced for the number of colleges and courses open to each applicant, the university has decided to stick with the old policy which puts no such restrictions. Offline centralized admission forms, which will now cost Rs 70 for SC/ST students and Rs 150 for others, can be procured and submitted from June 2 to 16. Students can also apply online at lesser cost -- Rs 50 for SC/ST and Rs 100 for the rest. The forms will be available at 18 centres across Delhi, including five colleges each in north and south Delhi, three each in west and east Delhi, and two in central Delhi. "There will be five cutoffs and in case seats remained vacant in any of the courses in any category, there is provision for five more cutoffs. The final cutoff -- the 10th list -- will be issued on July 21. For the first five cutoffs, three days will be given, including the day of announcement of the cutoff, for admissions and payment of fees. In the subsequent five cutoffs, students will get two days," said J M Khurana, DU's dean of students' welfare, announcing the schedule along with joint dean, media coordinator, Malay Neerav. Unlike last year, students will this year have to make a choice of colleges along with courses this year while applying. "There is not cap on the number of colleges or courses a student can apply. Any student not selecting a particular course or college will not be eligible for admission there even if the cutoff criteria is met," said Neerav.
