The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) will begin the admission process for its first batch from Tuesday for various courses that have been designed by industry experts and involve mandatory entrepreneurship components.
The admission process will remain fully online in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement issued on Monday, the university said that students enrolling for undergraduate programmes (excluding B.Tech) are required to take a PEG (Personality, Entrepreneurial mindset and General ability) test to know where their interests lie.
Admissions to the diploma courses will be conducted through an online proctored common entrance test to be conducted in August, and candidates applying to degree courses will get merit-based admissions on the basis of their Class 12 scores, performance in vocational subjects, and extracurricular activities.

Our courses are industry embedded; there are partnerships and linkages in diploma and undergraduate degree programmes where we will prepare each student to face the world and in gaining employable skills for the industry.
