In a bid to minimise the use of paper, the online registration for Delhi University’s (DU) undergraduate courses will begin from May 28 this year. This is the first time online registration will begin earlier than the offline one.
Ending speculation, DU has retained its offline admission procedure but will begin it only by June 5. For both the online and offline processes, the registrations end on June 15. Over 60,000 seats in 61 DU colleges are up for grabs.
“We wanted more students to register online and discourage offline registration, so we have taken this decision after much deliberation,” said JM Khurrana, the dean of student welfare.
Unlike previous times, this year there will only be eight centres where students can procure and submit their optical registration (OMR) forms between 9.30 am and 3 pm. There are no centres in North campus.
Aspiring candidates can visit North Campus for Open Days between May 21 and May 30, where the university officials will be available to answer their queries and disseminate information about the university.
This year, students will be given three days to complete admission formalities after cut-offs are declared. There is a gap of one to two days between successive cut-off lists. This gap has been given for the colleges to send data of the seats filled to the university and upload it on the website.

Students need to remember that due to certain circumstances if they are unable to take admission in a cut-off list even after qualifying, they would be considered in the next list only on the last date of admission on the availability of seats.
Bringing widespread relief among students, no college can impose the “additional eligibility criteria”. Additional relaxation can only be provided to girl students up to 3%.
Excluding Music and Physical Education, subjects like Home Science, Accountancy, Biology and Business Studies will be considered academic subjects so there will be no deduction of marks from the best of four subjects.
