Talking about the Sports and ECA quota, Gupta said, “These seats are supernumerary in nature. Their admissions have no relation with the cutoff list, so why should we wait unnecessarily for the cut-off lists for these admissions. They are dependent on trials so we will start those trials also early, along with the registration process.”
Delhi University will conduct admissions for the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programmes offered at the different colleges affiliated to the university. Except for the autonomous colleges like St Stephen’s College, and Jesus and Mary College, all the other colleges have a common admission process. The admission will be completely based on the merit of the best out of four marks calculated as per the subject the candidates want to apply for.
