Delhi University Admissions 2021 To Begin From August 1: Here's Everything You Need To Know
A massive relief for Class XII passout students as Delhi University (DU) is likely to begin the process of its 2021 admissions for undergraduate programmes in August. DU will also begin admissions into postgraduate programmes in July.
Just like last year, the process of admissions will be completely online.?The registration for postgraduate students is likely to begin on July 26 while undergraduate admissions are likely to begin between August 1-3.??
Admission process was to begin in July
This decision was taken on Thursday (July 15) at the Delhi University Admission Committee meeting. ¡°We have decided to start postgraduate registration on July 26. For undergraduate courses, it will start once the CBSE announces the Class XII results, most probably between August 1-3. This is tentative; the Registrar will announce the final dates,¡± said Dean Admissions Pinki Sharma.
DU had earlier said it would start registrations tentatively on July 15, which were later postponed to the end of July. However, Chairperson, Admissions, Rajeev Gupta had told The Indian Express that even as the university wanted to start registration by July end, other considerations were making it difficult.
About NEET, DUET and CUCET
¡°We are trying to start registrations from the last week of July, but unless we get dates from the NTA (National Testing Agency) it will be slightly difficult. The NTA has announced the NEET dates, so hopefully, we will soon get to know the dates for DUET (DU Entrance Test) too,¡± he had said.?NTA conducts tests for some UG and PG courses in DU, for which admission is done through entrance exams.
DU is still waiting for guidelines from the Ministry of Education about CUCET (Central Universities Common Entrance Test) too.? ?
DU had earlier declared tentative dates for registration with the assumption that other school boards would have declared their results by then.¡°We are tentatively thinking of starting the registration process by July 15. We are hoping that by that time most of the other school boards, apart from the CBSE, would have decided how to evaluate students and declared their results,¡± Gupta had earlier said.
After the Union government decided to cancel the Class XII CBSE board examinations, DU had said it would follow the ¡°merit¡± criteria devised by the Board for its undergraduate admissions.?
