The first cut-off list of the Delhi University is expected to come out on June 25
The Delhi University will begin online admission process for its 54,000 seats today before forms are made available on the campus. The university has put in place "strong, dedicated" servers to deal with the huge traffic expected online.
The online registration process will continue from May 28 to June 15 while offline forms will be accepted at the registration centres from June 5 to June 15. The first cut-off list is expected to come out on June 25.
"We have taken enough precautions and have arranged for backup servers to deal with unexpectedly huge traffic. If the students find the website to be slow, they should try after sometime," DU Spokesperson and Joint Dean of Students' Welfare Malay Neerav said on Wednesday.
Last year, the university's website had crashed on the first day of the admission process and the students had to flock to the offline registration centres.
The Centralised Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) forms will be available on Delhi University's website www.du.ac.in and students will have to make the payment through Internet banking.
This year, Delhi University, in an effort to make the admission process smoother and uniform, has prohibited colleges from imposing any extra eligibility criteria on students.
"The university will decide the cut-offs for subjects and colleges will not be allowed to add additional eligibility criteria," said the deputy dean GS Tuteja.
He added that a student will lose 2.5 per cent if a subject applied is not included in his/her 'best-of-four' aggregate and 5 per cent points if you jump a stream.
The forms will be available in eight colleges in South campus, but after the students union at the North Campus protested, the university has opened one centre there as well.
