Description

In the wake of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) becoming essential for admission to undergraduate courses this year, St Stephen's College and Jesus and Mary College (JMC) have written to the varsity's Vice-Chancellor seeking clarification on the admission procedure. The two colleges are minority institutions, with Christian students taking up half of the seats.

Both institutions used to have their own admissions cut-offs, with St Stephen's additionally conducting interviews. Admissions to minority colleges, such as these two, will also be handled through the CUET, according to DU's statutory bodies. According to the reservation policy of such colleges, separate merit lists would be prepared for unreserved and minority candidates during counselling.

"I sent an email requesting clarification on the admissions procedure. We don't mind CUET because the board exam or the CUET scores are the only options. We're fine with that if the university says so," said St Stephen's principal John Varghese.  He says it's been a fortnight since he wrote to Singh, and the varsity has failed to respond.

According to DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, his office plans to write to St Stephen's saying that for general seats, it should only consider CUET scores, but for minority seats, it can hold interviews and give CUET scores a weighting of 85% and the remainder to interviews. He also claimed that Jesus and Mary College had written to him. When asked about CUET results becoming the primary criterion for admission for general seats, Varghese replied he will "wait and see how the institution answers."
