Outstation Delhi University aspirants may not have to visit the national capital to write entrance examinations for postgraduate courses with the university planning to come up with five centres outside Delhi.
The vice-chancellor has constituted an 18-member standing committee, comprising deans of various faculties, which is deliberating upon the proposal of introducing five examination centres.
With the committee yet to come up with final recommendations, the registration process for admissions to 66 post-graduate courses has also been delayed. “The committee is considering setting up of five centres for conducting entrance examinations, however, the modalities need to worked out. “The centres are likely to come up in major cities, including metros or near those towns from where the university receives major chunk of applications,” a committee member said. “The feasibility of the new experiment needs to be worked out before going ahead with the same. We are also working on making the admission process more centralised unlike previous years when departments were responsible for conducting their own entrances and set question papers for the same,” the member added.
