Delhi University on Monday asked St. Stephen’s College to withdraw its prospectus for the 2022-23 session and issue a public notice declaring revised admission procedures in consonance with the new admission policy of the university.
The university added that “any admission done in violation of its norms and policies will be treated as null and void ab initio”.
DU and St. Stephen’s College are at loggerheads over the admission process. This year, DU has done away with the cut-off system for undergraduate admissions and introduced the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) to be conducted by the National Testing Agency. CUET, says the university, will provide a level playing field to all the applicants and merit shall be prepared for all applicants based on “standardised, equitable, fair, transparent and nationalised common entrance examination”.
