Pandemic-Related Delays

Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, many DU colleges have now shifted to online learning for the duration of the academic year. Examinations for both old and new DU students are being conducted remotely. However, the specifics of when the admission process will commence remain uncertain.

Official Website Updates

To stay informed on the latest developments, it is recommended to regularly visit the official website of Delhi University. The university is expected to initiate the online application process shortly. As of now, candidates should remain vigilant as the application process is still in the pipeline.

Expected Timeline for Admissions

The University of Delhi plans to release application forms for undergraduate admissions on May 27, 2019, marking a delay from the usual timeline. Here's a detailed overview:

Application Process Details

For UG Courses: Candidates must have passed the higher secondary examination (Class 12) from a recognized board to apply for UG courses. Final admission involves screening of qualifying marks. For Entrance Exam-Based UG Programs: Candidates must appear for the university entrance examination. Admit cards will be available online within a week after the last date of application. For PG Courses: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in the relevant discipline with the required aggregate. Registrations for UG and PG courses must be done through the common registration portal on the DU's official website.

The exam pattern for different programs varies. PG courses will be conducted through an OMR-based examination, while merit-based UG courses will not involve an entrance exam. PGDCSL admissions will be based on a combined merit of the qualifying examination and a personal interview.

Additional Programs

In addition to the regular undergraduate and postgraduate programs, Delhi University also offers correspondence courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The School of Open Learning (SOL DU) provides distance education solutions.

It's important to note that students from schools not accredited by AIU, UGC, or MHRD will be considered based on a separate merit list. DU has a unique grade point conversion system to accommodate these students.

Stay tuned for the latest updates and keep an eye on the official DU website for any announcements related to the admission process.
