The V-C explained that the existing system, which relies on merit-based admissions through students’ performance in their Class 12 board exams, will be maintained. This approach has been deemed effective and fair for all applicants.
Reasons Behind the Decision
The decision to forgo entrance exams is based on several factors. Firstly, the university aims to reduce the pressure on students who already face significant stress during their final school year. Additionally, the logistical challenges and resources required to conduct entrance exams were also considered.
Feedback from Stakeholders
The university has received feedback from various stakeholders, including students, parents, and academic experts. The consensus supports the continuation of the merit-based admission process, which is viewed as transparent and equitable.
Future Plans and Updates
While DU has decided against entrance exams for now, the university remains open to evaluating and improving its admission process in the future. The V-C assured that any changes would be communicated well in advance to ensure a smooth transition for prospective students.
