DU UG admissions delayed; registrations only post-CUET results
Delhi University (DU) might once again face a delayed undergraduate admission cycle as it waits for the declaration of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) results before opening registrations.
This has renewed concerns among teachers over disruptions to the academic calendar that have persisted since the entrance examination was introduced. The development comes despite university officials earlier indicating that the registration for admission would begin by the third week of May.
According to Dean of Admissions Haneet Gandhi, the undergraduate admission process is expected to begin after the CUET-UG results are announced.
"The UG admission process will tentatively start after the CUET-UG results are declared. While we will be taking precautions to avoid any unnecessary delay in the start of the academic session, at least four lists are expected to be released leading up to the admission," Gandhi said.
The delay follows fresh disruptions in the conduct of CUET-UG this year. On May 30, the examination was affected by a technical glitch, forcing the National Testing Agency (NTA) to revise schedules and organise a one-time re-examination for more than 3,700 students who had left examination centres before the test could resume.
The revised examination dates have been fixed for June 6 and 7, the NTA said in a post on X.
