Speaking to a reputed media portal, professor Alok Kumar Rai, vice-chancellor, LU, said: “Unlike Delhi University, we are going to conduct our undergraduate entrance test so that good students do not suffer as the mark sheets don’t establish distinction among students.” While commenting on LU Admissions 2021 entrance Exam schedule, Rai said: “We will wait for the results to be declared as we receive students from across the country. CBSE and the UP government have announced the dates, many other state governments are still doing it. So we hope we will be conducting it somewhere in August.” At present, there are around 130 colleges affiliated with it.
