The offline application process for admissions to Delhi University is set to begin from Friday. With over two lakh candidates having applied online already, the varsity is expecting more rush at admission centres.
This year DU has set-up eight admission centres as opposed to 18 last year. Most centres are located in the varsity’s South campus, except SGTB Khalsa College. The eight centres where forms will be accepted are Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College, Dyal Singh College, Gargi College, Maharaja Agrasen College, PGDAV College, Rajdhani College, Shyam Singh College and SGTB Khalsa College.
All centres have been asked to set-up at least four windows for sale and acceptance of forms. “In case of unexpected rush, more counters will be set up. Help desks have been established to guide candidates ,” said Malay Neerav, DU spokesperson and Joint Dean of Students’ Welfare. The university has also arranged for special help desks for students from Northeastern states.
Candidates who have already applied for admission online need not visit admission centres. “The common application form will be valid across all DU colleges,” said a university official.
A total of 54,000 seats for undergraduate programmes are up for grabs with June 15 as the last date for application.
