DU to adjust admission process without compromising on merit

Delhi University will adjust its admission process to the pandemic situation without compromising on merit, acting vice-chancellor P C Joshi said after the Class 12 board examinations were cancelled on Tuesday and added that the Central Universities Common Entrance Test can be a good method.

After the CBSE and the CISCE announced cancelling Class 12 board examinations in view of the coronavirus pandemic, Joshi said discussions will be held with the admission committee and the academic council of the university to finalize the process of admission to undergraduate courses. Nearly 98 per cent of the applicants to Delhi University are CBSE students.

“There will be some way to judge merit. These are extraordinary circumstances. The Central Universities Common Entrance Test can be a good method as it will be based on pan-India merit. DU will not compromise on the merit. We will adjust to the new situation and see what method is to be developed. We will wait and see what the criterions the boards come out with for evaluation of students,” he said.
