Delhi University plans to introduce online entrance exams

Delhi University plans to introduce online entrance exams



An official from the DU said that the university is planning to introduce online entrance exams from the next session. Earlier, the admission committee of the varsity had met and decided to hold the online entrance exam so that the students who do not get high marks in the board exams also stand a chance to study in the Delhi University. "The proposal to have online entrance examinations was made by the Department of Commerce. Some members said the online mode would be difficult for students from far-flung areas who are not well-versed with computers," said an official. The official further added that the university had decided to hold the online as well as an offline entrance exam. The University is also mulling over the idea of outsourcing the entrance test to the National Testing Agency. "It is yet to be decided whether it can be done. The varsity will bring out a notification and subsequently the process will begin," he added. The Jawaharlal Nehru University has introduced the online entrance exams and the move the students' union of the University has criticized the move highly. The union said that this will put an unnecessary burden on the university as it is already dealing with the shortage of funds.
