Advancement of Hansraj College on Online Admission :

Mrs. Rama, principal of Hansraj College said that a final decision has yet to be made on whether the professors will come to college during the admission procedure. However, the possibility of their presence is low in probability. Digital cooperation with teachers is what seems to be feasible and safe amidst this pandemic. However, the Admission Committee of the college will have a final say in this matter.

The principal added that most of their meetings take place in an online medium. Various departments of the college have already begun its process of deciding the new cut-offs. Professors are constantly cooperating and coordinating on the newly created WhatsApp groups. Meetings and video conferences are held weekly for the elimination of possible problems.

Progress of Hindu College in DU admission 2020:

Mrs. Anju Srivastava, principal of Hindu College, said that more number of teachers are involved in the new online admissions this year. To make the process easy, admission timings have been extended. Earlier, the timing was from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. but now it is extended to 5 p.m. Hence, a greater number of working staff is required. The physical presence of teachers in the college for admissions is a question here. So, the decision would be made via a consensus. However, physical presence is not vital according to the principal.

What changes have been made by other colleges for online admissions?

Jaswinder Singh, SGTB Khalsa college principal holds a view that extra caution is required while conducting the virtual admissions as it will be done for the first time. He says that extra alertness has to be maintained in the case of reserved categories. Verification of their caste certificate should have to be done with caution incorporating more steps. If digital certificates are made available by the students, then it would be easy for the college to validate.
The choice made in the elective course is another vital issue according to him. Some general elective courses are popular and extensively taken as compared to others. Hence, allotment of seats according to the course demand would be tough. Teachers are expected to reach the students and, give a list of available elective courses.
