New Delhi: Delhi University’s (DU’s) advancing the academic session this year from July 19, following the introduction of semester system has lead to worries among the outstation students. As per sources, students belonging to other states are likely to be affected badly, as state boards are known to delay results. Moreover, the admission window will be compressed by almost a month from this year.
Generally, the admission process starts post CBSE results and continues till September, but this year, the admission process would be completed by July 3. Also, the submission of forms would be over by June 10. Therefore, things are expected to be even tough for these students from different parts of the country, with the compressed and advanced dates for admission. According to Delhi University authorities, the university would plan its admission dates as per the schedule of the national boards and would leave it to the state boards to decide if they would like to announce the results early to help their students.
Deepak Pental, Vice-Chancellor (VC) of DU has said that it is sad that each year so many students miss out on an opportunity to join Delhi University because of clash of dates. However, one should not expect Delhi University to wait till all the results are declared. It is the responsibility of the respective state boards to help their students. We would move on as per our semester schedule and CBSE results.
