DU admissions to commence a month earlier this academic year

Delhi University (DU) will commence the admission process for the undergraduate, postgraduate, M.Phil. and Ph.D. seats from April 15, 2019 for the new academic year which is a month earlier when compared with the dates from the last year. According to the official communication by the DU university, the university will finalize the admissions by May 7, 2019 for all the seats under undergraduate, postgraduate, M.Phil. and Ph.D. streams. Sports fitness trails and ECA (Extra Co-curricular Activities) will commence from May 20, 2019. Every year, DU reserves five percent seats in all the colleges under sports and extra-curricular quota and admissions under these two will commence before the main cut-off list is released by the DU. From this year, the university has also reduced the penalty due to change in the stream. Earlier, the university used to deduct 5% for the change in the stream but from this year only 2% will be deducted from the best of four average. The university is also trying to use the CBSE database for the marks of the students so that students do not have to submit them to the university during the admissions process. Last year, more than 3 lakh students applied for the 60,000 seats in the DU.
