DU colleges not to impose extra criteria for UG admissions

Aiming at simplifying admission process, Delhi University has decided that its colleges will not be allowed to impose any extra eligibility criteria for students seeking admission to undergraduate programmes from this year.
"A student applying in five different colleges will have the same criteria for admission in all of them. Colleges will not be allowed to impose any extra eligibility criteria for students. Rules will be same for all and as per set by the university," DU's Dean of Students Welfare J M Khurana told reporters here today.
The decision, however, will not apply to minority colleges such as St Stephen's and Jesus and Mary College, which will announce their own admission criteria and come out with their cut-off lists.

"Till last year, students used to be in a dilemma whether his/her aggregate marks will be enough to get admission, as colleges used to impose additional riders such as above 85 per cent in Mathematics required for admission.
"But from now on this practice will be stopped. This will simplify the admission process, he added.
Over 80 colleges are affiliated to Delhi University. The admission process for the undergraduate courses will begin from May 28.
