The University of Delhi (DU), is likely to commence its registration process for ungraduate admissions from 15 July 2021, said PC Joshi, University's acting Vice-Chancellor, on Thursday, 3 June.
PC Joshi further told PTI that admission will be conducted on the basis of merit.
"The admissions will be merit-based. The various boards are going to give us some marks. Then there is the CUCET exam, for which we had already sent a proposal. The ministry has to take a call on whether it has to implement it or not and it will depend on the assessment of the COVID situation," he said.
CUCET is a common entrance test for admission to various undergraduate courses at Central Universities. It was proposed by Ministry of Education as a part of National Education Policy 2020. However, as mentioned above, the final decision regarding happening of CUCET this year is still awaited.
Although many boards including CBSE and CISCE have cancelled their Class-12 board exams due to COVID-19 pandemic, but many of them are yet to take the final decision.
Rajeev Gupta, Chairman, Admissions, DU said that registrations are tentatively going to begin from 15 July. It is expected that most of the boards will take a decision and declare results by then.
