DU Admission 2023: B.Tech Admission to be based on JEE Main Scores

New Delhi: Delhi University has launched three B.Tech programs from the academic session 2023-24. According to officials, the admission process for these programs is likely to begin by the end of June 2023.

According to the official notification by DU, the eligibility criteria for admission to these BTech courses will differ from other undergraduate programs offered by the university. While the registration portal for other courses has already opened, aspiring candidates for the B.Tech courses will have their admissions based on their Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2023 scores. Candidates applying to other UG Courses will have to apply through CUET Scores.

The three B.Tech courses will have 360 seats — 120 each for the computer science and engineering, electronics and communication engineering, and electrical engineering courses. These will be taught at the faculty of technology.

“Candidates must have passed Class 12 from a recognised board to be eligible for the programme. The candidate must also have secured 60% or more marks in an aggregate of physics, chemistry, and mathematics and must have passed English (core or elective) as a subject at the senior school certificate examination level. Apart from these qualifiers, admission will be based on the ranks obtained in JEE-Main,” said a DU official, requesting anonymity. “The university is likely to open its registration portal in the last week of June and there will be a registration-cum-counselling fee of ₹1,500.”

Officials said some credentials of the candidates, such as name, signature, and photograph, will be auto integrated from the JEE application form, and candidates will only have to submit their preferences for the three programmes while applying for the courses. The course allocation will be based on the merit score and the preference submitted.

Alok Ranjan Pandey, a DU academic council member and a member of the varsity’s standing committee, said while the Delhi Technological University (DTU) and Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) were earlier affiliated with DU, their shift to the Delhi government in 2009 and 2018, respectively, meant the university did not have its own BTech courses. “Therefore, a need was felt over the last decade to introduce these programmes, which was fast-tracked after new vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh took over,” he said.
