Admissions open on May 28 in Delhi University(DU) 2017

Delhi University has announced its undergraduate admission schedule though it's not clear which programme this batch will join-  the existing one or the choice-based credit system ordained by the HRD ministry and University Grants Commission. The online registration will kick off on May 28. The offline sale and and receipt of OMR forms will start on June 5 in eight colleges across town but none in North Campus to prevent crowding, lobbying and security problems. Both offline and online registration will close on June 15.

          Forced to fail in line with UGC's norms and schedules, DU had to change names of more courses. Bachelor of  Business Economics (BBE) and Bachelor of Finance & Investment Analysis (BFIA) are now Bachelor of Business Administration (BBE) & BBA (BFIA) respectively. These two, along with Bachelor in Management Studies, are the only subjects for which there will be an entrance test; it's scheduled for June 14 & registration for them will be from May 20 to June 5. In a significant departure from the previous policy, students who miss out on taking admissions on the basis of one cut-off list, will be given another chance, on the last day of admission for the next one.

              Colleges are no longer allowed to decide on their eligibility criteria independently. The admission committee headed by Khurana, however, has retained most of the common waivers offered and penalties imposed & standardized their quanta. They can still offer a waiver for women but it can be no higher than three percentage points; the maximum waiver for BA programme students taking MILs has been fixed at a rather generous 10 percentage points. Candidates applying for English or Hindi (honors) will enjoy a two percentage point advantage if they'd studied the elective subject in school.

                     Similarly, the penalty for a variety of situations-- inclusion of a vocational subject in best of four, of a subject that is not offered in DU at honors level- has been fixed at 2.5 percentage points. There are some exceptions to this- for instance, commerce isn't taught in CBSE schools so accountancy will be considered an academic subject and no penalty exacted. There will be options for about 52 subjects on the OMR form. Admission schedule for BA in mass media and mass communication offered by Indraprastha College will be announced separately by the college itself.

                     Admissions into the sports and extra-curricular activity quotas will be conducted much in the same way as past years- those interested must apply at the colleges- but the fitness trials will be centralized.
