Delhi University Admission 2021 process for both the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses are underway.
Now, the Delhi University has officially added a new column stating the vaccination status on its admission portal for students who are applying for the PG courses. Under the new column, the students applying for the PG programmes at DU have to mention if they're vaccinated or not.
When asked about this move by the Delhi University, Rajeev Gupta, Chairperson (Admissions), Delhi University, said that the main objective is to create a database, so that once the DU authorities allow the opening of campuses, they'd know the number of people on the campus who are vaccinated. The varsity has informed that the vaccination status of an applicant will not have any implication on his/her admissions. At present, it is applicable to only those students who are applying for PG courses and the DU staffs.
DU First Cut-Off for UG Courses to be Released by October 1
All those students who are applying for UG courses have been exempted considering that they might not have turned 18 and even the government is yet to begin the vaccination for those who are under 18. However, the Undergraduate students will be asked to update their vaccination status whenever the government starts the drive for them, he added.
Delhi University Registration for PG and MPhil/PhD programmes started on July 26, which will conclude on August 21. For postgraduate (PG) courses, the University has received almost 1,35,833 registrations for around 20,000 seats till now, while for MPhil/PhD, the University has received nearly 18,828 registrations. Meanwhile, the University had opened its admission portal on August 1 for the UG admissions, the last date to register is till August 31, 2021.
DU Ward Quota Seats Increased After 24 Years
Earlier, the Delhi university had announced that the first cut-off list will be released by September 8-9, 2021. However, now it is likely to be delayed considering that the CBSE improvement examination for Class 12th, which has been scheduled from August 25 to September 15 and the Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) will end on October 1, 2021.
Professor Gupta stated that the Delhi University Cut-Off list for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses are expected to be out by September-end. Moreover, there is no plan to extend the registration deadline for DU Admissions 2021 which concludes on August 31, 2021.
