According to the sources, Delhi University’s admission committee is mulling on a proposal to introduce an aptitude test for undergraduate courses. Every year thousands of students from different examination boards of the country apply for DU undergraduate courses. But disparity in the marking pattern of different examination boards creates problems. Some examinations boards do moderation with marks to adjust with CBSE marking pattern. Keeping all these factors in mind, the committee is exploring to introduce two features for all the undergraduate courses where admission is done on Class XII marks. These features might be introduced only for those students who have passed their 12th Board from other than CBSE board. These two new features would be:
- Fixing minimum qualifying marks in 12th board for seeking admission.
- An Aptitude test
Let me clarify here, that this plan is still in the thought process. No final decision has been taken yet. This plan is still in the pipeline and has to be approved by many authorities before it is finalised.
