In a bid to keep a tab on candidates securing seats in multiple colleges, the University of Delhi will most likely ask the students to deposit their original documents at the time of admission.
Why has the need for changing admission policy arisen?
Earlier the students used to follow the practice of submitting photocopies of their documents to procure admission in various colleges and would only submit the originals to the college they finally chose from among the available options.
However, this practice resulted in one student blocking seats in various colleges while waiting for their scores to meet the cut off criteria for better college or course of their choice in the next list.
The contents of new policy are:
To formulate an admission policy, DU has constituted a 24-member committee, comprising deans from faculties of science, commerce and arts, nine college principals and members from the executive and academic councils. The policy is scheduled to be notified by the end of this month.
The suggestion of taking original documents have been made by the committee members to the Vice Chancellor, who will be taking a final call on it for the current academic session."To do away with this practice, we have decided to take in possession the original documents. If in the next cut off list, any candidate gets a college of his choice, he may withdraw the documents from the earlier college only after cancellation of that admission.
"In that case the particular seat will not remain blocked till end of admission process," Nachiketa Singh, a committee member told PTI.
On being asked about whether the delay in withdrawal of the documents from their previous college can cost the candidate the chance of admission in next institution, Nachiketa said, "There is a time period of three days for taking admission which is enough for withdrawing the documents and making a fresh enrollment. Also, since there is no liability of the seats being fixed there are less chances of any candidate losing out".
The admission process is scheduled to start from May. The university admits 54,000 undergraduate students in various courses across over 60 colleges.
