- Delhi University released the first cut-off list on Wednesday, 29 June.

- Online registration procedure started on 1 June, although a large number of students were confused on the first day of the admission.
DU Beat Editor Explains Registration Problem
The editor of a campus magazine named DU Beat, Shubham Kaushik, says that the admission process did not draw the expected crowd in person as people tried to access the online portal for registration.
However, the portal was dysfunctional right from the beginning, confusing the students and parents.
Students Protest Against High Cut-off
A student organistaion named Krantikari Yuva Sanghathan (KYS) is protesting against the high cut-off set by the Delhi University. Speaking to The Quint, one of the protesters blamed the government, political parties, and the Vice Chancellors of the university.
The only solution to increasing number of students, he said, is increasing the number of applications.
The students are waiting for the admissions portal on the Delhi University website to open. Once the portal is active, the students will have to print their forms which is possible only after online registration.
During any major academic happenings on campus, the photocopiers and printers around the colleges have a field day.
Student Politics
Student politics, an integral part of college life in Delhi, began even before the admission process is complete. Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), on of the active student parties on campus, has already made their presence felt.
Student Volunteers
The process for admission to undergraduate courses at the Delhi University has begun and the students appear confused. A student volunteer helping students understand the procedure speaks to The Quint.
The first round of admissions at the University of Delhi has now started – and The Quint is bringing you all the action live. The university on Wednesday night released its first cut-off for the academic session 2016-17.
