Delhi University has roped in DU Community Radio, which will be available from June 2 on 90.4 FM to help students who are either willing to join the University or those who are awaiting their admission lists. Admissions in DU will start from June 2.

The next time you switch on your radio near Delhi University, get ready to be greeted by admission details. The university, in a bid to make its admission process more wide-ranging, has roped in the DU community radio for disseminating information. The radio, available on 90.4 frequency on the FM bandwidth, can be accessed anywhere in a radius of 10 km around the North Campus.

This unique facility will be of great help to the students, who are either willing to join the university or those who are awaiting their admission lists.

Said Gurpreet Singh Tuteja, deputy dean of students welfare, ‘‘The radio will start relaying a special one-hour programme on DU under-graduate admissions from next week onwards. It’s a follow-up on the Open Days that will take place in colleges from May 24.” The open days, which are basically a way for aspiring students to get to know about the courses and colleges they are interested in, will be a week-long programme.

“We are also planning to have a special program for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) students, which may start an hour earlier from the regular session on the Open Day. Since their queries are different, a need was felt for a separate module,” added Tuteja.

Starting from Khalsa College on the North Campus on May 24, the next Open Day is on May 26 in DDU College, followed by Keshavpuram College the next day. For students in east Delhi, counselling will happen in Shyam Lal Anand College in Shahdara and Vivekananda College in Vivek Vihar on May 30 and 31, respectively. There will also be a special two-day Open Day in the SP Jain Centre on May 28 and 29.
