DU Admissions 2020: Considering the ongoing pandemic situation, just like other academic institutions, the University of Delhi decided to conduct its admission process entirely online. According to the reports, with the admission process at Delhi University (DU) going online this year, the process of changing colleges upon declaration of consecutive cutoffs may be a risky affair for students. To avoid this risk or state of confusion, college principals advise students to be very careful while checking their eligibility. The official reports also suggest that DU is likely to announce its first cutoff list on October 12. “Suppose during the admissions, a college finds that a student is unfit for the course. Earlier, we used to send such students to other colleges but now the process won’t be so easy. There is not much provision of rectification,” said Manoj Sinha, principal of Aryabhatta College.

Taking about the conduct DU admission online, Sanjeev Singh, director of the university’s computer centre, said: “Changing the course and college after the cutoff’s declaration will be allowed, but the risk will be high. The process is dynamic and there is a large number of applications for all courses and colleges. It may happen that the situation changes by the time the student cancels and takes admission to any other college. Colleges, too, need to be very careful while approving and cancelling any admission.”

Singh added: “The admission process is the same like last year but everything will be done online. The colleges will calculate the cutoff and the systems will provide them assistance. The details of students and their documents will be available with the college. Once the colleges approve the admission, students will be able to pay the fees.”
