Delhi University has issued a notification outlining the selection process for students and PhD scholars seeking mobility opportunities under Erasmus agreements. The notification, dated October 22, 2026, also covers mobility opportunities for faculty members and staff under agreements signed by the university or its departments.

According to the University of Delhi (DU) notification, Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreements are coordinated either by the university’s International Relations (IR) Office or by individual departments. The selection process will depend on which office or department manages the agreement.

DU has set out separate procedures for applications handled by departments and those managed directly by the IR Office. The process includes inviting applications, screening candidates and selecting eligible students according to the defined criteria.

DU Erasmus Mobility selection through departments

For agreements coordinated by individual departments under the International Relations Office, departments will invite applications from eligible students and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) scholars.

The committee will include the Head of the Department, the former Head or the senior-most eligible faculty member if the former Head has retired, and the next faculty member according to seniority.

It will also include a member nominated by the Vice-Chancellor on the recommendation of the Chairperson of International Relations, along with the department’s Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) coordinator.

Students will be selected based on the criteria set out in the selection process. The notification does not specify a common application deadline on the first page; candidates should check the relevant department’s announcement for further details.
