The Delhi University has constituted a four-member committee to look into processes related to the admission for the 2022-23 academic session, which will see it adopting the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET). The university has also constituted a seven-member panel to oversee admission formalities for foreign nationals.

According to a notification issued on January 31, the four-member panel has been tasked to look after the admission work for the academic session of 2022-23. Professors Haneet Gandhi, Dean (Admissions); Sanjeev Singh, Joint Dean (Admissions); Dr Ajay Jaiswal, Joint Dean (Admissions) and Dr Amit Pundir, Deputy Dean (Admissions) have been nominated as panel members by the Vice-Chancellor.

This year, admissions to the university will be done through the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET). Till last year, the admissions were held based on cut-offs for a majority of the undergraduate courses, barring a few, while entrance exams were held for postgraduate courses.

In a notification on January 27, the university said that a committee for admissions of foreign nationals has been formed with immediate effect for the academic session 2022-2023. The panel, consisting of seven members, was formed under the chairmanship of Joint Dean (Foreign Students) Prof Amarjiva Lochan. The move came in the backdrop of a large number of foreign nationals securing admission in the Delhi University since the university reserves 5 per cent of its seats for such students.
