DU admissions - Guidelines yet to be provided to colleges
New Delhi: Although it has been a week now since the administration at the University of Delhi had announced that the common pre-admission OMR forms for this year's DU admission season will be scrapped, the university has still not issued any official notifications to the colleges in this regard.
As a result, colleges have been finding it difficult to begin planning for the upcoming commencement of the DU admission procedure.
Ramjas College Principal Rajendra Prasad said that they cannot decide anything unless they have the written communication. "We are not aware clearly about what we will be allowed to do and what the new rules are exactly," he said.
He further added that although everything had been discussed in the meeting between the DU vice chancellor, registrar and the college principals, they will not be sure of every detail of the new procedure until the formal notification arrives.
After the new admission procedure was announced, colleges had begun wondering regarding the parameters that will be considered for determining the cut-offs besides past experiences and results of Class 12 board examinations.
Past experience was the primary choice of most colleges to determine the cut-offs. However, principals of some colleges has said that without any data regarding the number of students that will be applying for admission at the university, it would be problematic for them to determine the cut-offs. This may result in over-admission of students.
Several colleges are thinking of beginning an online registration process that will be mandatory. However, the colleges cannot take any concrete decisions right now till a written communication from DU containing dos and don'ts is received.
The official notification from the university may take around 2-3 more days. A university official said that the official communication may take some time to prepare as they have to look into minor details.
