DU UG Admission 2021: The Principal has approved 7,245 applications, and 13,552 students have been accepted. So far, 1,15,490 applications for admission under the first and second cut-off lists have been received by Delhi University. Till 6:15 p.m. today, 7,245 students had completed the process by paying the fees, and 13,552 applications had been approved by principals across DU colleges.
On October 1, DU released the first cut-off for 2021, against which admissions closed on October 8. On October 9, the second cut-off date for 2021 was announced for all courses and colleges, with admissions closing today.
Students who applied for admission using the first and second cut-off lists but want to change courses or colleges can do so by applying using the third cut-off list. On October 16, DU will release the third cut-off list. With a large number of students from Kerala applying to DU colleges, the university has issued guidelines to include subjects from other state boards that are equivalent to those taught by the Central Board of Secondary Education in the calculation of cut-off marks, according to a PTI report. According to the PTI report, an equivalence committee decides which subjects from state boards are comparable to CBSE subjects and whether they should be included when calculating the cut-off score, which is the average of the best-of-four marks.
The University of Delhi has refuted and condemned reports that a few boards are being given preferential treatment. “As a Central University, the University of Delhi values all candidates’ academic credentials equally and uniformly, regardless of their states or school boards.” According to a press release, this year’s equal opportunity was maintained by accepting applications solely on the basis of merit. The Students’ Federation of India had previously demanded that CBSE and its evaluation not be used to determine admissions to Delhi University, accusing the university of discriminating against state boards.
