Entrance examination.

“The AC has approved recommending PG admission through CUET and half the seats are left under merit-based admission for DU students,” a council member told PTI.

The committee suggested that PG admissions will be done through a single window system where NTA will conduct the CUET from the academic year 2023-24 for all categories.

It also said that a separate merit list will be prepared for the candidates who have cleared Chuet-PG and those from other departments who had earlier appeared for the postgraduate entrance examination.

While preparing the merit list candidates appearing in the DU entrance examination will be given priority in the category.

“While preparing the merit list, the priority shall be defined as follows: Candidates of the former category who sought admission through the Post Graduate Entrance Examination shall comprise the first 50 per cent of the seats and shall include those candidates who qualify the Common University Entrance. His eligibility to appear in the examination under this category shall be depending on the test,” the committee recommended.
