The Delhi University officials said that there will be no physical trials for admission for the NCC and the NSS categories. The ECA score for the NSS and the NCC will be awarded on the basis of certificates. The official said that if there is any clash of dates for candidates appearing for more than one ECA category, no request for a change of date will be considered for those categories where only a single date for trial is mentioned. Candidates can apply for a maximum of three categories.

However, admission will be offered through only one. "For other categories, the candidate may request with the suggestion of some other suitable dates only from among the dates available for the trials of the given ECA category or sub-category for a change of date," the university said. The official said that candidates have to report half an hour before the trial time slot for attendance and counter-signing the marks awarded based on certificate evaluation. "Since these are in-person trials, the given time slots may sometimes vary due to unavoidable circumstances. The candidates are, therefore, advised to make suitable arrangements for food, water, any medicine, etc for a longer than stipulated time period," the official said.
