										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The University of Delhi, or DU, will start the registrations for the postgraduate (PG) programmes tomorrow, July 26. Along with the PG programmes, the application window for Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET), PhD and MPhill programmes will also start from tomorrow and continue till August 21. For PG courses, students will be required to fill one registration form but have to pay separate fees if they are opting for more than one programme.</p>
<p>To make the DU admission process hassle-free, a portal for admissions will also be launched. The admission portal will facilitate the students seeking admission to the university to fill the admission forms, pay fees and check details without any problem from the comfort of their homes. The university will also organise webinars to help candidates during the admission procedure.</p>
<p>The number of DU courses for which entrance tests will be held this year has been increased from nine to 13. The four new courses for which entrances will be held from this year are Bachelor in Physiotherapy, Bachelor in Occupational Therapy, Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics, and Masters of Physiotherapy.</p>
<p>The dates for DUET for all the PG programmes, selected undergraduate programmes and MPhil and PhD programmes will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). For non-NET students seeking admissions to PhD and MPhil programmes will have to appear for DUET 2021. All candidates applying for MPhil or PhD programmes will have to fill a common registration form.</p>
<p>The registration process for the undergraduate merit-based programmes has been scheduled between August 2 and August 31.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Registration for Delhi University Undergraduate admissions will be done between August 2 and 31, and for Postgraduate, MPhil and PhD programmes, it will be between July 26 and August 21, DU Acting Vice-Chancellor professor PC Joshi announced on Saturday. Eligibility criteria and registration fees for both merit and entrance based admissions this year will remain unchanged, the university said in a statement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here are ten things you should know about DU UG, PG admission 2021:</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; Centralised admission for undergraduate courses will be done through one registration-cum-application form. All departments and colleges will use the same form. For postgraduate courses, students need to fill one registration form but are required to pay separate fees if they are opting for more than one programme.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET 2021) for all PGprogrammes and selected UG programmes and MPhil, PhD programmes will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). DUET 2021 dates will be announced soon. This year, DU is planning to increase the number of test centres.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; Non-NET candidates seeking PhD, MPhil admission have to appear for DUET 2021. From <a href="tel:202122">2021-22</a> onwards, admissions to Bachelor in Physiotherapy, Bachelor in Occupational Therapy, Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics, and Masters of Physiotherapy will be done through DUET.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; Like previous years, UG merit-based admissions will be done using cut-offs. “The admission branch is working with principals of colleges on modalities for deciding cut-offs so as to avoid over and under admissions,” DU said in a statement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; At least one per cent of the total intake capacity of a college will be represented by students joining through the Extracurricular Activities (ECA) and Sports quotas. A college may admit students up to 5 per cent of its total intake strength using ECA and Sports quotas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; In view of the COVID-19 situation in the country, DU may not conduct trials for ECA and Sports quota admissions. “Admissions under these supernumerary seats will be done based on the Merit/Participation certificates of the applicants. Only for this year, the applicants will be allowed to upload certificates of the preceding four years (1st May <a href="tel:201730">2017 – 30</a>th April 2021),” the university said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8211; DU admission brunch is planning to hold webinars and upload tutorial videos to help students in the admission process. Dates for the webinars will be published on the DU website. “In addition, computer-based help desks in the form of chat-bots and emails will also be available 24*7 to answer queries of the candidates,” DU added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DU admission 2021 bulletin will be released once the registration process begins. More details regarding the admission process will be released at <a href="http://du.ac.in">du.ac.in</a>.</p>
