University of Delhi Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh has announced that DU undergraduate admissions will be through CUCET 2022. Officials have decided to provide admissions to DU UG based on the CUCET exam starting this year. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the CUCET 2022. DU VC Yogesh Singh said, “The cut-off based admission system puts students from the boards where the marking is strictly at a disadvantage”. Officials conducted DU UG admissions based on the class 12 marks scored by the candidates.
However, on 10 December, the university’s academic council had approved holding a CET for DU UG admissions. Later, officials took the decision based on the recommendation of the nine-member DU committee, set up by the DU Vice-Chancellor, which had suggested holding a common entrance test.
According to DU’s official notice, “The Executive Council of the University of Delhi at its meeting on 17 December 2021, resolved that the admissions for the academic session 2022-2023 onwards in all undergraduate courses of the university shall be made through CUCET or DUCET”. This year, central universities, including Assam University in Silchar and Central University of Gujarat, conducted the CUCET 2021. Furthermore, the Central University of Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, and Kerala conducted CUCET 2021.
