The application process was to begin from April 2 and the exam was to be held from June 2 to 9. From last year onward, the NTA has been roped in to conduct the DU entrance exam, earlier, the varsity used to handle it internally.
From this year, the varsity had announced to take several student-friendly initiatives including single form admission process. The details regarding the same, however, will be known once the application process begins.
During admissions 2019, a total of 2,58,388 applications were received for 64,000 undergraduate seats at the varsity and similar number is expected this year, too.
