#WATCH | On Delhi University (DU) taking admission based on Class 12 marks despite CUET, University Registrar Vikas Gupta says, "We had around 71,000 seats, and approximately 70,500 admissions have already been completed. You might wonder why we are allowing further admissions when the gap is so small. The...

Visited Hansraj College Hansraj College, University of Delhi in Delhi University yesterday. I was on a start up panel discussion. My co-panelist was Vikas Kuthiala angel investor and startup mentor. He is an alumnus of Hansraj College. We had an engaging conversation. My observation is similar to that when I visited SRCC some time ago. The students are bright, committed and driven. They will do well in their lives and careers. The faculty who I met also exhibited the same traits. Shahrukh Khan’s Shah Rukh Khan imprint is there everywhere in the college. From his portrait on the Wall of Fame to his photograph on the back of the mobile phone of the student who was escorting us around, to the conversations with the faculty. They are really really proud of him (and justifiably so). Everyone has a Shahrukh story. A piece of trivia I picked up - SRK had topped his batch at HansRaj. He studied Economics. Another piece of information - there is very little difference in the cut-offs marks for admission to the various colleges in DU. As a consequence there are equally good students across most of the colleges. This has meant a significant improvement in the academic culture across the university from the time when I studied there in the early eighties. Less goondaism. When was the last time you read in the papers about a bus being burnt by striking students in DU or of violence during DUSU elections? Fewer DUTA and DUSU strikes that paralyse the University today - they were an annual occurrence a few decades back. You can be in any one of a dozen or more colleges and do very well academically. Another piece of feedback I picked up. The students who I spoke to were all very happy with the CUET being used as the common exam for admissions to DU. One big reason - it has led to a common objective metric for admissions unlike earlier where the various different state and central school boards would have different standards for awarding marks leading to students of some states having an advantage. Some glimpses from the visit are below
