The Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU or IP University) is inviting applications for admission under the orphan quota till August 14 in various programmes. The university has reserved one additional seat in each of its 13 schools and one specialised center for the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes under this quota. Application process, although is offline, candidates can check more details on the official websites of the university at ipu.ac.in and ipu.admissions.nic.in.

To apply against the Orphan Quota in IP University, candidates will have to submit the application form along with a death certificate of their parents issued by a recognised child welfare authority. The application should be sent to the University Facility Center, Dwarka Campus, along with a bank draft of Rs 2,500 in favor of the Registrar.

This quota has been introduced on the lines of the “Single Girl Child Quota” launched by the university last year. Students admitted under this quota will be eligible for a 100 per cent fee waiver under the EWS scheme. The university will also try to provide benefits of various financial assistance schemes run by the central and state governments to these students.

Vice-Chancellor Padma Shri Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma said, “The university aims to provide education to all, and we don’t want such children to be deprived of higher education due to financial constraints.”

IP University is the first state university to introduce this quota for orphans, he added.

The University has launched an admission chatbot service. The IP University admission chatbot service seeks to provide instant answers to queries related to admissions in various programmes for the new session. The link to the new service is available on the University’s main website — ipu.ac.in. Using this service, prospective applicants can get immediate answers to their queries related to admissions in various programmes for the new session, a statement issued by the university said.
