While registration to fill approximately 56,000 undergraduate seats at Delhi University (DU) will begin on Monday, registration for nine undergraduate programmes that need candidates to take an entrance examination will begin on May 31.
The nine courses are: Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS); Bachelor of Business Administration, Financial Investment Analysis, (B.B.A); B.A. (Hons.) Business Economics; B.A. (Hons.) Humanities and Social Sciences; Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.); Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, Health Education & Sports B.Sc. (P.E., H.E. & S.); B.A. (Hons.) Multimedia and Mass Communication; B.Tech. (Information Technology and Mathematical Innovations) and B.A. (Hons.) Music.
Popular choice
As entry to these courses are not based primarily on cut-offs, they will be a popular choice with students who do not have marks high enough to make it to colleges on the basis of the Board examination results.
Sources said that among all the entrance-based courses mentioned above, B.A. (Hons.) Multimedia and Mass Communication course will be open only to women candidates.
For certain courses such as BMS and BBA, the university will also conduct interview/group discussion after entrance test.
The online registration process for these courses will begin on May 31 along with the online registration for post-graduate courses that are also based on entrance examination. Last year, admission to eight of the nine courses were also conducted via an entrance examination.
This year, B.A. (Hons.) Music has been added to the list.
University officials said that the finer points of the entrance examinations are yet to be finalised, but an announcement will be made before May 31 providing the number of centres at which students can appear for the test as well as the date-sheet.
The courses have approximately 1,600 seats and the bulletin of information will be uploaded online soon at www.du.ac.in.
