NEW DELHI: The Foreign Students' Registry at Delhi University has received more than 2,000 applications this year for all kinds of courses, from certificate to PhD-level. Amrit Kaur Basra, who now heads the FSR, says that the certificate course in Hindi is a popular one with this group. There have been queries on this at DU Open Days in South Campus.
"I have already forwarded about a dozen applications to the Hindi department. Many among the Chinese and Korean applicants as well as those from the African countries opt for this course," says Basra. Applications have come from more than 65 countries, including Korea, Nepal, Tibet, Russia, China, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. Some even applied from Germany and Japan.
Indian Council for Cultural Relations too sponsors students from other countries. There are some applicants for Faculty of Management Studies though they have also applied for Central Aptitude Test. The admission process for foreign applicants ends early. "We have to check whether the institutions they have earned their previous degrees from are recognized," says Basra, "It takes 4-5 months."
In North Campus on Monday, officials clarified once again that candidates who've studied under boards in which the theory component in a paper is less than 70% will lose 10 marks from their score in that paper. The university's new admission policy on vocational subjects will mean trouble for many students coming from other states. From this year, DU will consider all subjects in which the theory component is less than 70% as non-academic.
"There are some boards in which the theory part in subjects like physics, chemistry and biology is less than 70%. Those students will lose 10%," says Malay Neerav, joint-dean, students' welfare. About 1,000 potential applicants attended the open day at North Campus.
