Filling up forms for admission to Delhi University colleges can be a tedious task with over 54,000 seats up for grabs.
As Delhi University formally kicks off admissions from Friday,for candidates applying under special categories,especially OBC/SC/ST,keeping a few important things in mind can make things easier.
Of its total seats,the Delhi University has reserved 26,730 for candidates belonging to SC,ST and OBC categories.
For those applying under OBC category,filling up the Common pre-admission form is the best option. Gurpreet Tuteja,Deputy Dean of Students Welfare,said: For applicants belonging to OBC category,there are no separate forms. Common pre-admission form includes a category for OBC which needs to be marked for OBC evaluation.
Students seeking admission through SC/ST quota,however,need to fill a different form. These forms are not available online and have to be collected from the four information centres set up at Rajdhani College in Raja Garden,Arts Faculty in North campus,Shyamlal College in Shahdara and Office of the Deputy Dean,Students Welfare,South Campus.
These forms can be collected or submitted from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm except on Sundays. The forms are free of cost and need to be attested with other pre-requisite documents,including Class X certificate,Class XII provisional certificate or marksheet and caste certificate,clearly indicating the name of the issuer of the certificates. Apart from these,the applicants need to carry two passport-size photographs.
Candidates under this category can list 30 options in the form,along with names of preferred colleges and the course desired. The applicants are also exempted from CATE,the pre-admission test conducted for English (Hons) course. The cut-off list for SC/ST candidates will be displayed on June 22 at the Arts Faculty department.
For Physically Handicapped category
The forms in this category are manual and not OMR suited. They are available only at the Office of the Dean,Students Welfare. Applicants under this category,apart from Class X certificate and Class XII provisional certificate,will need physical disability certificate showing disability of the applicant not less than 40 per cent.
