DU Admission 2019: Delhi University will not start admission process on April 15, 2019

DU Admission 2019: Delhi University as reported earlier will not start the admission process on April 15, 2019. The Admission committee has earlier declared the admission dates. Since the panel is still planning to incorporate a few more changes in the admission process this year, the admission process is likely to postpone.

Mr. Rajeev Gupta the Dean of Students Welfare on March 15 said that the admission process is for DU will tentatively begin on March 15 and will close by May 7, 2019. On Tuesday however, Mr. Gupta told news sources that the admission dates will be extended as the preparations are still going on. “We will have to extend the dates as our preparation is still on. We are working on the admission schedule”. When asked about the delay in the process he said, “There are a lot of changes we are proposing which require a lot of change in our existing software norms.”

However, Gupta refused to comment on the nature of the changes to be incorporated. A meeting of the admission committee will be held next week wherein it will be decided as to how long the registration process will be delayed by.

The admission committee had earlier announced a few changes to be incorporated this academic year. The changes announced were the deduction of marks from five percent to two percent for stream change. Another change involved was delinking Sports and ECA quota from admission cutoff list. Speaking about the sports and ECA quota Gupta said, “These seats are supernumerary in nature. Their admissions have no relation with the cutoff list, so why should we wait unnecessarily for the cut-off lists for these admissions. They are dependent on trials so we will start those trials also early, along with the registration process”

Delhi University will conduct admissions for the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered at the different colleges affiliated to the university. All the colleges have a common admission process except for the autonomous colleges like St, Stephen’s College, and Jesus and Mary College. The admissions will be based on the merit of the best of four marks calculated as per the subject the candidates wish to apply for.
