Delhi University (DU) admissions under the sports quota has been made simpler this year following the introduction of the four-year undergraduate programme, a university official said on Monday. “The candidates now seeking admission on the basis of chess, archery and shooting only need to qualify either in the 50-metre dash, standing broad jump or 1,000-metre race or walk,” said Ram Dutt, DU Deputy Registrar, in a statement.
Unlike the previous year, students who apply under the sports quota need not go through the difficult physical exercises, irrespective of the particular sports they play. “All the sports trials will also be video-graphed by all the colleges in order to ensure transparency,” Dutt said. The sports trials will be held in different colleges and candidates would be issued certificates acceptable everywhere.
