Helplines, WhatsApp groups: DU gears up for online admissions

With just about a week to go for undergraduate admissions, Delhi University (DU) colleges are getting ready for their first-ever online admission process.

From creating WhatsApp groups of teachers to forming committees and making notes of potential problem areas, several steps are being taken to ensure the process goes on smoothly.

DU is ready to release its first cut- off list on October 12. Hansraj College Principal Rama said that while it is not yet decided if teachers have to come to college during the admission process, the possibility was low as the digital process was going on smoothly. 

Most of our meetings are taking place online. Our department meetings have already begun to decide cut-offs. They will discuss in the Admission Committee if teachers will come to college or not.

But they have already created WhatsApp groups of teachers for coordination. Every few days, they hold meetings via video conferencing, and it has been smooth till now.
