  "There will be two sections of the test. First is the aptitude test which will be common to everyone and the second part of the test will have many combinations and options."

Till 2021, DU UG admission was merit-based – Class 12 board exam results and various colleges used to release their merit list and students meeting the cut-off were eligible for admission after principal's approval.

The academic council meeting was held on December 10 and it had already approved the proposal. A nine-member panel constituted by DU vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh had recommended that the varsity should hold entrance examinations through a Common Entrance Test to ensure substantial objectivity in the process of admission, amid controversy over high number of cent per cent scorers from the Kerala Board getting admission to the varsity.
