DU ADMISSION: LIST OF ADMISSION QUERIES ANSWERED BY DU BRANCH

Delay in JEE & NEET exam could affect the academic year of Delhi University

The officials say that if the exams are postponed further, then Delhi University might not be able to postpone its entrance exams any further.

However, the University of Delhi is not delaying its entrance test by being afraid of higher cutoffs. The officials of DU says that if the JEE and NEET exams are further postponed and if aspirants seeking admission from these exams get enrolled in DU, the Delhi University will have to suffer an abnormal year where students might withdraw their admissions from science courses after the declaration of JEE and NEET results.

This year there is not one but many factors that may lead to higher cutoffs at Delhi University. The first and foremost factor being the high percentage of CBSE students scoring 90 and above percentage in their +2 exams this year.

Also, the fraction of students scoring 95 and above marks have increased from 17,690 in 2019 to 38,686 in 2020. While the number of students who scored 90 percent and above has risen from 63000 to 157934.

Most colleges under DU feels that a rise in the number of students scoring more than 90 percent and above could result in high cutoffs.

NO FURTHER POSTPONEMENT FOR ENTRANCE EXAMS OF NEET, JEE MAIN EXAM DEMANDED BY STUDENTS

At present over 3,28,000 students have registered for UG admissions at Delhi University. The University has received 40,000 more applications than that received last year.

The rise in cutoffs may curtail the success rate further, as the University of Delhi has only 70,000 seats altogether in its colleges.

So out of the total number of enrolled students, only 70,000 students will be able to make it to the DU. While 2,58,000 students will not be able to get a seat at the University of Delhi as there are not many seats.

Dr. Bijayalaxmi Nanda, Principal of Miranda House said that this year it is going to get more difficult to get admission to some of the too ranked precious colleges of the University of Delhi.
