The academic council meeting was held on Friday and despite 17 of the 26 elected members dissenting against it, the proposal to hold a common entrance test was passed. The council includes members other than those who are elected. The matter will now come up for discussion in the Executive Council meeting scheduled for December 17.

“Common Entrance Test (CET) for undergraduate admissions will lead to mushrooming of coaching institutes that will be particularly bad for socially and economically disadvantaged students and girl students,” said Mithuraaj Dhusiya, a member of the council. Echoing similar views, Alok Pandey, a council member, said just like engineering and medical entrance exams, students will take coaching to prepare for DU, thereby not focusing on their school studies.
