Lack of valid documents a roadblock for applicants

Anxiety and confusion prevailed on Saturday at Delhi University, as several admission seekers faced problems with the documentation process and failed to a get a verbal nod from the authorities.

Additionally, technical glitches at the portal multiplied their problems to a large extent, with some applicants reporting of rude behaviour from officials.

Meanwhile, many students were seen rushing to the campus without even checking the essential documents list and were distressed by it.

Many students from outstation Board requested for the slip, as they did not have other essential certificates.

"Our Board has not disbursed the certificate and here officials are asking for the original certificate for verification. We are perplexed, as officials here are not showing any interest" said Anupriya, an aspirant from Satna in Madhaya Pradesh.

Not having original certificates is a barrier to admission seekers, including aspirants to Miranda College.

"I have scored 96.75 per cent in my Board exams. But due to the absence of certificates I could not get my admission slip. But the principal has assured me and has given me one week's time to show my certificates," said Priyanka, an applicant for Jhansi.

For students who belong to Boards other than the Central Board of Secondary Education, the University will scale down their marks. Additionally, there is also a problem in verifying mark sheets of students of other state Boards, as the data is not available online.

Another student was found confused about admissions through extracurricular activities (ECA) quota. "I am confused about the ECA trials. DU has not intimated students about them yet," said Vanshika, a student from Vikaspuri. With a best of four of 95 per cent, she is aiming for colleges like Hindu and KMC, both known for BA Political Science.
