Guwahati: After a delay caused by the coronavirus-triggered lockdown, the registration process for admissions to the Delhi University's various undergraduate, postgraduate, Mphil, and PhD courses is set to begin on Saturday.
This year, owing to the pandemic, the DU admission process is being conducted exclusively on online platforms and applicants can visit the university's registration portal on Saturday and register for the courses they are interested in pursuing.
Last year, the university's online registration process took place between May 30 and June 22, and the first cut-off list was announced on June 28.
According to media reports, the DU registration portal will open on Saturday and applicants can register till July 4. Applicants will be given a second chance to update their marks once the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announces its results.
After the extended lockdown period, which brought a complete halt to all activities in the country, exams of 12 major subjects are now scheduled to take place between July 1 and 15. However, while hearing a plea, the Supreme Court on Wednesday has asked the board to consider alternatives like marking students based on internal assessments instead of exams because of the extraordinary situation.
DU sources said that they are not sure about the cut-off date since they don't know when CBSE results will be declared. As per the tentative plans, students will get about 10 days to enter their marks following CBSE results, and the first cut-off list will be declared a week thereafter.
