The registration process for 20,000 postgraduate (PG) seats and for the Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) courses will begin on July 26
As per the latest update on Delhi University Admissions 2021, the DU first-cut off 2021 is likely to be announced between September 7 and 10, acting vice chancellor P C Joshi announced on July 17, 2021. The last date for registration of PG programmes is August 21 and for UG programmes is August 31, he added.
"To make the admission process hassle-free, a dedicated portal for admissions will be launched soon. This will facilitate students to fill the forms, pay fee and check all details without any problem from the comfort of their home," the acting VC added.
Owing to the COVID-19 crisis in the country, the DU Admission 2021 will be conducted in online mode only. To avoid long queues on campus, the University will conduct the admission process digitally, Gupta said.
When asked about the delay in the DU Admission process, Professor said, " This year, along with DU, many other central Universities across the country have not begun the Admission Process as Board Exam Results 2021 have not been declared yet. The Supreme Court had earlier asked CBSE and other state boards to declare the Board Exam Results 2021 by July 31. So, we are expecting to start soon after the announcement of Board Exam Results."
For PG and PhD courses, the admission process has not been started yet because many of the Universities are yet to announce the final-semester results. However, we are likely to begin the DU Admission Process 2021 for PG courses on July 26, 2021.
DU Admission 2021: Registration Process
"All the departments and colleges will use the same registration-cum-application form for admissions and candidates will not have to fill any other form. For PG programmes, candidates will be required to fill one registration form but pay separate registration fees if opting for more than one programme," the university said in the statement.
All candidates applying for MPhil or PhD programmes will have to fill a common registration form. In no case will the registration fee will be refunded, it added.
DU Admission 2021: Merit-Based
On DU considering Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET) scores for DU Admission 2021, Gupta said, " We have not received any directives from Ministry of Education on conducting admission on the basis of CUCET scores. So, we are planning to go ahead with the merit-based admission like previous years".
DU Admission 2021: ECA/ Sports Quota
With COVID-19 third wave likely hit the country in the coming months, students must note that this time the varsity will not conduct sports and Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) trials. Admission under the sports category will be granted based on the merit certificates while for the ECA category, only those with NCC and NSS certificates will be granted admission, Gupta said.
DU Admission 2021: Offline Classes
With DU planning to finish the admission process by September, it is likely that the new academic year will begin from October. "If the situation is conducive, the decision will be taken to reopen the varsity in a phased manner. We may allow final year undergraduate and postgraduate students to return to the campus for laboratory work and practical classes, the decision to begin in-person classes at the university will be taken as per the situation that time," said Rajeev Gupta.
DU Admission 2021: Webinars
The Delhi University will also organise webinars to help candidates during the admission procedure. "The admission branch is planning to organise webinars and upload tutorial videos to help candidates throughout the admission process. Announcement of these webinars will be published on the university website time to time.
