Delhi University will continue accepting both online and offline applications for its undergraduate admissions even though there was a proposal that the process be brought completely online.
A 23-member committee set up by the varsity to look into the process of admissions to the various undergraduate courses for the academic session 2015-16 was of the opinion that it should be made online, like the way it is for DU's post- graduate courses.
However, in light of concerns raised in several quarters, the varsity has decided to stick with the system of both online and offline applications, sources said.
"The admission process will not be completely online. It will be very much on the lines of previous years and will continue to be offered in both modes," they said.
"Overall, there will not be much deviation in the admission process from the previous pattern and no major changes are expected," the sources added.
The committee, comprising the registrar, deans of various faculties, principals of various colleges and DU's Academic and Executive Council members, had last week submitted its recommendations.
Although DU had introduced centralised online registration forms for the first time in 2012-2013, it had continued with the offline centralised OMR registration forms.
Only the post-graduate admissions were so far being done exclusively online.
