Delhi University Commences UG classes

Delhi University has commenced the classes for first-year undergraduate students. The classes are being conducted in the virtual mode (Online) for the students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new academic session for the freshers began after a delay of close to four months due to the colleges and universities being shut since March 2020.

The university conducted the admissions for the students in the online mode for roughly 68,000 of the total 70,000 undergraduate seats offered across the colleges affiliated to the university with five cutoffs which were released.

Admissions conducted online

The admission process including the document verification process was conducted online in view of the pandemic and lockdown situation. With respect to the remaining seats, the university was supposed to release a special cut-off list however the admission process has been deferred due to some of the university officials testing positive for the virus.

Freshers have shared a completely different experience of the first day of college amidst the current situation. The students have stated that usually, the students receive a grand welcome on their first day but now the situation has changed and the whole event has been conducted online.

Online orientation

Some of the colleges conducted an online orientation session for the students which was live-streamed. Students have shared their different experiences of beginning the session online although some pointed out missing the excitement of the first day of college. The colleges which conducted the orientation session online include Miranda House, Hindu College, St. Stephens College, Shri Ram College of Commerce, Ramjas College, and many more.

While conducting the online orientation, the colleges laid emphasis on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the students. The first-year students were also introduced to the college counselors lining up online sessions with them for the students.

The Delhi University Students Union which earlier conducted a welcome drive for the freshers has also planned an online interactive session and events for the academic year.

Akshit Dahiya, President DUSU, while speaking about the orientation stated that since the students cannot come to college the students union will reach out to them. Unlike the previous years, the students will be welcomed by the union with online events wherein the students can also participate.
