The admission registration to Delhi University’s St. Stephen’s College is slated to begin from June 30. The college is, however, yet to take a decision on the admission process, since it conducts both entrance tests and interviews.
Earlier, the admission committee of DU had asked colleges that had 15% interview component to do away with the process in view of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent social distancing norms that had been issued.
Mahesh Gopalan, the admission tutor of St. Stephen’s, said: “Right now, we are just starting with the registration process. We are monitoring the Covid-19 situation and further decisions will be taken in due course. We are yet to decide on the interview round.”
St. Stephen’s, being a religious minority institution, conducts its own admission process. After releasing its cutoff, the college conducts tests and interviews. Both together hold 15% of the total component, while the remaining is decided as per the Class XII board exam.

“Usually we began the admission process after the CBSE results were declared. This time, however, we are starting early as CBSE is yet to declare the results,” Gopalan added.
In a notice put out by the college, it states, “All applicants to St. Stephen’s College must fill and complete their registration process in the Delhi University admission portal. Only those who have a registration number issued by the university will be eligible to apply for courses at the college.”
This process was started by the university a few years back by making it mandatory for students to first register with the varsity portal. The university’s registration process started on June 20 and will continue till July 4. Waiting for CBSE’s decision on board exams, DU is yet to announce the cutoff. Another minority institution, Jesus and Mary College, which also conducts its own admission process, will follow DU’s schedule.
