DU yet to finalize the Agency for its undergraduate entrance exam

Delhi University’s admission committee is yet to make a final call on the agency which will conduct the entrance exam on behalf of the university for its various undergraduate courses. Last year, the University had started the admission process from May 15, but this time the dates to commence the admission process are not final. However, the standing committee has made the recommendation that the process can be started from May 27 but the final decision is still pending. Rajeev Gupta, dean, Students’ Welfare said that dates for the entrance exam are yet to be finalized. "The portal is the same for merit-based courses and entrance exam based courses. The admission process will start once the dates are finalized. We are yet to finalize the agency that will be conducting the entrance exams," he said. An official from the university said that NTA is likely to conduct the entrance test on behalf of the university. Gupta said that the final decision will be made in the coming week. Apart from these, technical glitches in the test server are also the cause of the delay in the announcement of the admission process. Server is in the testing stage and is technical issues are arising because many new features have been added. The standing committee on admissions has also made the recommendation of adding various payment methods so that students can easily pay the fee for the entrance test and this feature is also being added. One of the suggestions is to establish tie-up with the e-wallet services as this will ease the payment process for the students. "Earlier, there was only one payment gateway which would lead to the server crashing but having multiple gateways will ease the process," said an official.
