DU Admission 2017: ECA trials to begin from June 17

The students who wish to take admission in Delhi University through extracurricular activities (ECA) quota finally have some clarity regarding their schedule. The varsity is scheduled to conduct first trial from June 17 which will continue till June 26. After this, the candidates with there will be a list of shortlisted candidates released for the second and final round of trials from June 30 to July 6.

To make the entire process easy for the students, the varsity has decided to take certificates after the first round of auditions. The ECA process will be calculated in ratio of 75:25, which means that a weightage of 75 per cent will be given to trials and 25 per cent for the school certificates which prove participation of the student.

This year the university will announce six cut off lists. The first admission list will be out on June 20 as the registration process for admission ends on June 12. The classes will start from 20th July.

15 per cent leeway

The students who have been active in extra-curricular activities during their time in college have a chance to be eligible for admission, at the cut-off lower by 15 per cent lower than that for other students. In order to be eligible for ECA trials, students don't even need a certificate of the event. They can just submit a letter signed by the principal of their college stating their participation. The idea is to maximize the participation and help as many students as possible who don't have a very good percentage in class 12 but are talented in extra-curricular activities.

The registration process for admission to undergraduate courses at Delhi University started on  May 22, although all the tabs were not functional as late as May 31.  The first cut off list is scheduled to come out on June 20, followed by 5 others. Here's the schedule:
