Thousands of
students throng to the campus and post offices as Delhi University opens its
door for the admission 2012, this week. While close to 50,000 forms have been
sold till yet, many still remain clueless about the admission procedure. So
here is a quick guide to all that you need to know about filling of the
admission forms:
The forms
that come along with the information booklet cost Rs. 100 and will be on sale
till June 18 across 10 head post offices and colleges. The admission
process is for about 54,000 seats across 79 colleges of the university. The
first cut-off list will be out on 26 June on the university website and the
selected students can pay their fees till 28 June, 1 p.m. The second cut-off
list will be out on June 28, third on July 3, fourth on July 6 and the fifth on
July 10. Close to three lakh applications are expected for all colleges across
the university’s two sprawling campuses. Also this year the university has made
the forms available online in order to reach out to a larger outstation
population (www.du.ac.in). While many have opted to fill the form online, the
conventional OMR forms still have many takers. Many are still flocking to the
campus to fill the forms as they are sceptical about the online mode and seek
the guidance of current students. The Sports and ECA admission category forms
can be bought from the concerned colleges directly. The DU Helpline managed by
the Delhi University Information Centre can be contacted regarding any queries
on 155215 or 011-27006900.
Finally, bit
of an advice before you head out to apply in the colleges after the cut-off
lists come out: Keep the Xerox copies of your Originals handy!
