DU releases second list of seat allocations for UG programmes

Delhi University (DU) on Monday released the second list of seat allocations for its undergraduate programmes.

A total of 87,335 allocations have been made in two rounds of admissions, with 24,843 new applicants offered seats in the second round, according to an official from the admissions office. DU has 71,624 undergraduate seats on offer this year. 

The official said the extra allotments were made taking into consideration that some students may not accept the offers.

The university has asked candidates to accept the seats by July 30 and pay the fees by August 1, the day a new session is scheduled to start. DU may announce additional lists subsequently, subject to the availability of seats.

Anti-ragging SOP

Meanwhile, the university discussed during a meeting of the Proctorial Board a set of guidelines to prevent ragging.

It said the punishment for ragging can range from suspension, expulsion, cancellation of degrees, withholding of results, or debarment from classes or examinations.

According to a statement by the Registrar, all students, hostel residents as well as their parents or guardians have been asked to give an undertaking to the time of admission to their respective colleges, departments, centres, or hostels as per the UGC anti-ragging web portal.

Colleges, centres, and hostels have been requested to restrict the entry of outsiders, and to prominently display rules regarding prohibition of ragging in their respective institutions.

Along with university officials, officials from Delhi police were present during the meeting. The Registrar in his statement said the campus will be patrolled to monitor and take speedy action in case of any untoward incident.

He added that the Delhi police has assured that women police in plain clothes will be deployed in the University as well as outside the premises of each college. In case of any ragging or eve-teasing, the police will take care of the offenders.

Two control rooms have been set up to monitor complaints. Students can drop written complaints in the complaint box of their respective colleges, call the anti-ragging helpline number, or call the university control rooms.
