DU Admissions 2020 begin for UG, PG, MPhil/PhD courses, over 25,000 students register on opening day

Delhi University, DU has started the much-awaited online admission process for undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG) and MPhil /PhD programmes. All the candidates can apply for Delhi University (DU) Admissions 2020 on the official website, the link for which is www.du.ac.in .

Even as most of the boards including CBSE and UP Board — from where most of the applicants for DU come from — are yet to declare their result for class 12 exams, the registration cycle has begun. Students will be allowed to update their application forms with their marks, once the result will be declared.  Further, the merit-lists will also be declared after the result of CBSE Board exams.

In a major change, students will not have to select a preference of subjects or colleges while registering and every applicant will



be eligible for all courses and all colleges across DU, based on their merit.

This year, trials for sports and co-curricular activities will not be held. Sports, ECA, NCC together marked for five per cent supernumerary seats across the varsity. These measures are taken to ensure safety and the least number of students having to visit the varsity campus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A total of 25,889 students have registered on the first day of the opening of the registration portal by Delhi University. The application process began at 5 pm on June 20 and by 10:15 pm on the same day, over 25,000 students had already applied for admission at the varsity. Most of the applications - 19543 - have been received for undergraduate courses, followed by 5889 for postgraduate courses and 457 for PhD courses.
