Delhi University which was gearing up for establishing six entrance examination centres outside Delhi is now planning to also conduct admission exams for M.Phil. and Ph.D. courses there.
Earlier the admission process for M.Phil. and Ph.D. courses used to go on till September as departments used to conduct their entrance exams individually. However, if this happens the exams might be conducted simultaneously.
The vice chancellor has constituted an 18-member standing committee, comprising deans of various faculties, which is deliberating upon the proposal of introducing six examination centres in Varanasi, Nagpur, Kolkata, Chennai, Jammu and Ahmedabad.
“Outstation Delhi University aspirants may not have to visit the national capital to write entrance examinations for Ph.D. and M.Phil. courses with the university planning to come up with six centres outside Delhi,” a committee member said.
“Earlier there was a plan to conduct the exams for postgraduate courses at these centres. However, now we are thinking of holding the exams for research courses as well as a major chunk of applicants are from outside Delhi,” he added.—PTI
