DU welcomes Supreme Court's decision on St.Stephen's plea, announces timely UG admissions

The Delhi University welcome the Supreme Court's order refusing to put stay on Delhi High Court's order that had asked St Stephen's College to follow the university's admission policy, and assured the aspirants will face no issue as undergraduate admissions will be conducted as per schedule.

Meanwhile, DU Registrar Vikas Gupta also confirmed that the varsity will announce the first list of seats for admission to undergraduate courses today by 5 pm. It must be noted that the University had deferred the released of the DU First Merit List 2022 by a day as the SC was set to hear on Wednesday the St Stephen's plea against High Court's order.

"The court has decided in the right spirit. As a matter to respect to the court we delayed the list. We are there for the students. They will face no issue during admission. Students need not to worry. The admission will be conducted as scheduled and the session will start on November 2," Gupta said as reported by NDTV.

The Supreme Court in its judgement today refused to stay the Delhi High Court order asking St. Stephen's College here to follow the admission policy prescribed by the Delhi University. The Delhi high court had directed the college to follow the university's admission policy, according to which 100 per cent weightage has to be given to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-2022 score while granting admissions to non-minority students in undergraduate courses. St Stephen's College, however, wants to give 85 per cent weightage to CUET and 15 per cent to interviews for admitting students across categories.
