The University of Delhi (DU) is expected to start the registration process for admission to undergraduate programmes from mid-July. As Class 12 board exams across boards got cancelled and results are scheduled to be announced on the basis of alternative assessment methods, the DU admission process is also expected to be of a changed pattern. The university is also considering admission through Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET) to admit students to UG programmes.

Professor Joshi said there are two possibilities to admit students to undergraduate first year courses -- either the CUCET will be held or it will not be conducted. "If it is held we will take it as merit. If CUCET does not happen this year as the board exams, we will take the board exam evaluation. The various boards will definitely choose some mature method of evaluation. On the basis of those, we will prepare our merit list accordingly," Professor Joshi said.
A decision from the Education Ministry is also awaited on the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET).
