DU council to take up issue of common entrance tests
Representative Image. NEW DELHI: At Delhi University’s academic council meeting scheduled to be held on December 10, discussions surrounding the common entrance tests are likely to take place.
With cutoff marks soaring each year, for admissions to various merit-based undergraduate courses, the varsity had constituted a committee to assess the admission pattern.
A member of the committee said, “The broad recommendations include that entrances should happen but the exact modalities will be decided by the academic council. Whether admissions will be based on only entrances or whether a combination of the board results and entrances will be considered and what weightage will be given, has to be seen. These aspects will be deliberated upon by the AC.”
The committee was also asked to study the board-wise distribution of students. However, a committee member said that there was “not much of a difference” between admissions that have happened over the years.
The AC is also likely to approve the constitution of a New Education Policy (NEP) Cell in the university in accordance with relevant notifications of the University Grants Commission.
