Registrations for undergraduate courses at Delhi University will start on August 2 and registrations for Master’s and doctorate programmes will begin from July 26, Delhi University (DU) authorities confirmed it on Saturday.

DU is likely to announce the first cut-off list between September 7 and 10, acting Vice Chancellor PC Joshi announced on Saturday. The registration process for 20,000 postgraduate (PG) seats and for the Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) courses will begin on July 26, he said.

The last date for registration of PG programmes is August 21 and  for UG programmes is August 31.

“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 said.

The board exams were cancelled this year due to Covid and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had said it will be adopting a 30:30:40 formula for evaluation of marks for class 12 students based on results of class 10, 11 and 12 respectively.

“We have faith in the marking system of the CBSE and we will honour it. We are constantly in touch with our colleges regarding the modalities of cut-offs. A calendar regarding release of cut-off dates will also be issued soon,” Rajiv Gupta, chairperson, admissions, who was also present at the press conference, said.

University’s cut-off had been soaring for the past few years for UG courses. Last year, cut-offs has gone as high as 100 per cent for some colleges.

The Lady Sri Ram College for Commerce had released its cut off-list at 100 per cent for some honours UG courses last year.

University officials present at the press conference said admission for the sports quota will be done on the basis of certificates like last year. “We have had an intensive meeting of our education committee and have now come up with the dates for admission for this academic session,” Joshi said.
