DU admission 2021 for UG courses expected to begin from July end: Report

NEW DELHI : The University of Delhi is likely to start the DU admissions 2021 for the undergraduate programmes from the last week of July, as per the report by The Hindu .

“The registration process for the undergraduate admissions is likely to begin from the third or fourth week of July. It will not begin on July 15 as the results will not be out by then. The Supreme Court has given a deadline of July 31 for the results to be declared so the process will also begin a few days before the results are announced,” Rajeev Gupta, chairperson of DU’s admissions, said, as per the report.

Admission to the majority of the undergraduate courses in Delhi University is done with the help of Class 12th marks. With the announcement of a single common entrance test for admissions to central universities from this year, Delhi University has announced that it will equal weightage to both CUCET and board examinations for UG admissions. But the final decision on both CUCET and DU admissions is yet to be confirmed by the university.

The acting Vice-chancellor of Delhi university, PC Joshi, who is also a part of the CUCET 7 member committee, had earlier said that a decision on CUCET 2021 exam will be taken within 10 days by the ministry of education. With the recent cabinet reshuffle and the appointment of the new education minister , students are setting eyes on an early call on the CUCET examination.

The DU admission 2021 for PG and PhD courses is expected to start within the next ten days, News18.com reported. Delhi University offers admissions to postgraduate and PhD level programmes through an entrance test known as Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

The complete DU admission process will take place in digital mode this year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year too, the admissions of Delhi University for all the programmes were held in online mode.

As many as 1,324 international students have applied for DU admission 2021 from 61 countries including Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, China, Iraq, Japan, Jordan and Indonesia. The DU admission for overseas candidates has already begun in the month of April.
