DUSU Election Scrutiny Concluded
As of now, the scrutiny process for the DUSU elections has been completed. Candidates have until 12:00 PM on September 20 to withdraw their nominations. This period will reveal which candidates have been fielded by the prominent student bodies, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI). Once the final list of candidates is confirmed, the election momentum is expected to pick up.
Admission Portal Glitches Resolved
On the admission front, the Delhi University admission portal experienced temporary technical glitches, with some students unable to access the platform for a brief period. The issue was attributed to minor internet disruptions, likely due to the presence of signal jammers in certain areas. However, the technical team quickly resolved the issue, and the portal is now functioning smoothly.
Some students reported that their preferences were showing as “zero” on the portal. This was a concern for many, but the university has reassured students that such cases will be addressed. Additionally, a few students’ forms were rejected, but the university clarified that this could be due to minor issues with their applications.
Comments on University and Colleges
One user expressed dissatisfaction with BR Ambedkar College, labeling it as subpar. However, it was emphasized that students should refrain from making sweeping negative statements about any institution. Such remarks can tarnish a college’s image, which may not be fair to all students.
BR Ambedkar College is a prestigious institution offering unique courses such as journalism, social work, and commerce, which are not available in many other colleges. Its location, though a bit distant for some, does not diminish its academic quality. The college continues to be a popular choice for students pursuing specialized fields.
Spot Round 1 Admissions Witness High Applications
The first spot round of admissions at Delhi University has seen a significant number of applications, with over 2,162 applications submitted by 8:30 PM. The number may increase slightly, but it indicates the intense competition for seats at DU. Many students, even those enrolled in private institutions, are eager to secure a seat at DU, often willing to leave their current colleges for an opportunity to study here.
In some cases, parents have paid hefty fees to private institutions but remain hopeful that a spot at DU will open up for their children. This underscores the strong demand for seats at the university, despite being late in the academic year.

With just 10 days left in September, students are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the spot round. The enthusiasm to study at DU remains as high as ever, with many seeing it as a dream come true.
