New Delhi: Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh said on Tuesday that the university will begin the first semester for newly admitted undergraduate students on November 1.
He has also added that Delhi University will start the classes regardless of whether all rounds of allocating seats to candidates through its new admission process are completed.
It had launched the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for admission to undergraduate programmes for the 2022-23 academic year and started the application process today September 12, will continue the registration till October 3. Candidates willing to take admission to Delhi University will have to apply through the CSAS 2022 application form only. The application number of CUET UG 2022 will be mandatory to apply for CSAS 2022.
Previously, the academic year for all undergraduate batches began together on July 20. But admissions have been delayed each year because of the pandemic; with registrations only beginning on September 12 this year, it is the most delayed yet.
Singh said the university has not issued a definite admissions calendar, in anticipation of the National Testing Agency’s declaration of CUET results.
“Now, the NTA has said that results will be declared on September 15. If they don’t declare it by then, things will be shifted. Right now, everything is dependent on when the NTA declares the results… Once the results are declared, we should get at least five days to get the data, results and process them at our end… But October 3 will be the final date of registration… We will make a calendar after the registration process so that we also know the exact number of aspirants. Till the CUET results come out, students will be confused… We have to give them time to list their (course and college) preferences as well. There will be some chaos, there are so many options for them,” he said.
“We have to help students in a better way and we have to make them understand the philosophy of selection… The biggest challenge is selection of preferences. If they do it carefully and seriously, it will be good for them, and they should select all possible options. If they are casual about it, there may be problems and chaos for them… It can be quite difficult for them to make these choices. If someone is not from Delhi, they may not know much. NIRF ranking may be one reference point for them… Students may have clarity on the top few colleges, but not about the rest,” he said.
On when the CUET should be conducted to ensure the next academic year is on time, he said: “It needs to be conducted in March, that would be best. The exam should be conducted twice – once more after that, just after the CBSE examinations.”
