New Delhi: Delhi University (DU) aspirants who had been banking upon getting admission to the university under the sports quota on the basis of their sporting talent or medals and trophies they have won may be in for a surprise as the admissions under the sports quota will not be a cakewalk this year.
Most DU colleges have decided to rope in experts in order to supervise the sports trials that are going to be stricter this year as compared to previous years.
All DU colleges reserve 5% of the seats in every course for students who wish to apply on the basis of their achievements in sports or extra-curricular activities (ECA) such as music, singing, dance, drama, debating, poetry, quizzing etc.
The application forms for the sports and ECA quota will be available at most colleges from June 21 when the second cutoff list is expected to be announced. Colleges will evaluate students who apply under these categories on the basis of certificates and live presentation. The selected candidates will then be required to meet the cutoff for their chosen course.
V.K. Kawatra, Principal of Hansraj College said that they will come out with the sports and ECA quota forms from June 21 and the schedule for the trials is likely to be decided by Tuesday.
At Hindu College, the sports and ECA quota forms will be available from June 21 to 27. College principal Vinay Kumar Srivastava said that June 28 to 30 has been decided as the tentative time for conduction of the sports trials.
"The sports trials in our college will be held for basketball, tennis, cricket and swimming in the same order. We have not yet decided the dates for the ECA trials, he said."
Colleges at the North Campus have been trying to find a suitable place to conduct their sports trials as their grounds had been customized for rugby during the Commonwealth Games last year.
According to the guidelines by DU, colleges have been asked to give 75% weightage to certificates won by students and the rest to results of the live sports trials. Colleges have also been given the liberty to decide their own admission procedure under the ECA quota.
A member of the ECA admission committee since the last three years and associate professor at Daulat Ram College, Ira Pandit said that the ECA admissions were really tough. "We got good performers last year and several of them were seeking admission to B.Com or other similarly popular courses. We used to mark them on the basis of their inter-school or intra-school achievements and their presentation," she said.
In colleges such as Hindu and Kirori Mal, ECA trials are conducted in multiple rounds and often continue till late into the night. Srivastava advised students that only those who were really talented and had performed on earlier occasions should apply for admission under this quota.
