CUET: St Stephen’s sticks to its guns, gives 15% weightage to interview

NEW DELHI: Even as the matter of the admission policy adopted by St Stephen's College against the backdrop of Delhi University accepting the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) as the qualifying exam, the minority college has released its admission prospectus which notifies that for all condition, 85% weightage would be given to the central admission test scores and 15% to an interview. DU vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh expressed shock at this and claimed St Stephen’s hadn’t communicated this to the university after the last letter exchanged on the subject.

DU said that the college could conduct interviews to admit the 50% of aspirants seeking admission under the reserved category, but the rest could be admitted only on their CUET scores. Being a religious minority college, 50% of the seats are reserved for Christian candidates.
