Deepak Pental, Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University has given clear instructions to the principals of the colleges that merit will be only criteria to give admission in the undergraduate course. There are about 50000 seats in the undergraduate courses in different colleges of the university and over 1.20 lakh applications have been received by the university in this regard.
Giving reference of Right to Information (RTI) Prof. Pental told all the Principals that if anybody asks information regarding admission irregularities the university could not protect them by hiding information in this regard. There have been cases of irregularities in the admission in the past but after implementation of RTI it has been difficult to hide those irregularities by the university administration. Pental’s instruction came in a meeting recently. His instruction has come at a time when admission process is already on. Cut-off list for admission will come out in a next few days.
