Delhi University gears up to welcome first-year students

New Delhi: The Delhi University is all set to welcome the students admitted through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) as the new semester begins on Wednesday.
Though admissions to 70,000 seats in various DU colleges are still underway, the academic year for the first semester students will commence on Wednesday.
Talking to PTI, DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh said the university is all set for the start of the new academic year and arrangements have been made to ensure the availability of all the facilities for the students.
“We are all set to hold classes for the first-year students. This year, we have conducted admissions through the CUET and are implementing the National Education Policy. It is a different policy and students will have more flexibility,” Singh said.
From this academic year, the DU is implementing the NEP and the four-year undergraduate programme.
Colleges were busy on Tuesday making last-minute preparations to welcome the students. To ensure the safety of the newcomers, the colleges have conducted fumigation, activated anti-ragging committees and taken all other precautions.
