Delhi University is planning to come up with five examination centres outside Delhi to host entrance exams for PG courses.
An 18-member standing committee, comprising deans of various faculties, has been constituted to prepare a proposal. With the committee yet to come up with final recommendations, the registration process for admissions to 66 PG courses has also been delayed.
“The committee is considering setting up of five centres for conducting entrance examinations, however, the modalities need to worked out. The centres are likely to come up in major cities including metros or near those towns from where the university receives major chunk of applications,” a committee member said.
“The feasibility of the new experiment needs to be worked out before going ahead with the same. We are also working on making the admission process more centralised unlike previous years when departments were responsible for conducting their own entrances and set question papers for the same,” the member added.
Once the committee submits its recommendation the V-C will take a final call in this regard and the schedule for the admissions will be announced.
