NEW DELHI: High on spirit, over 30,000 students today purchased admission forms for under-graduate courses in Delhi University which started its 15-day admission process.
Long queues, chaos and confusion marked the sell of admission forms at 15 centres across the capital.
"30,000 forms were sold today from all 15 centres. We expect that the sell will go up to 1.5 lakh in next 14 days," a DU official said.
Young aspirants from across the country started thronging the centres from the morning to get forms.
The varsity this year has introduced a provision in the forms for the OBC students. The varsity would implement nine per cent OBC reservation this year. The university has increased its seats by 18 per cent to implement the quota.
Students were bit confused about the OBC provision in the forms.
"There was lot of confusion among the students over quota and induction of some new courses. Several students sought help from our volunteers in filling the forms," said Amrita Bahri, President Delhi University Student Union.
Making the admission procedure more "students friendly", the university has introduced a common pre-admission form that includes not only information on courses and colleges but also a list of 'dos and don'ts' to make the form filling process simpler and convenient.
DUSU has also set up information outlets at all 15 admission centres to assist the aspirants, Bahri added.
The last date for the submission of forms is June 16.
Several aspirants, especially those coming from different parts of the country, showed their displeasure over the unavailability of on-line admission process in the university. The manual filling up and submission of forms make the process "very painstaking and chaotic", they said.
"I underwent a night-long journey to reach at the admission centre. And again I have to stand in queue for hours to get the form. The whole process could have been made far better by introducing online admission facility," said Lalit Kumar, an aspirant from Allahabad.
Meanwhile, Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences organised its open day on Monday.
