Delhi University started the registration for admission to undergraduation courses on May 22 but all the tabs in the form became functional only on May 31. DU admission process was supposed to start in April but could happen only in May because of technical glitches. This was still earlier than previous years and spared the students the hassle of doing everything at the same time.
