DU plans Common Entrance Test for Journalism
The University Of Delhi (DU) has planned to conduct
a common entrance test for the highly sought after
B.A. (Hons.) Journalism course for the convenience of aspirants. The five colleges
that currently offer the course in Journalism at DU are Delhi College of Arts and
Commerce, Kamala Nehru College, Lady Sri Ram College, Kalindi College and Maharaja
Agrasen College. All these colleges are expected to be a part of the test that is
scheduled to be conducted on June 19.
The discussions to finalize the modalities of admission to the course are still
being held. The application procedure for the course will be completely conducted
online.
In its first year, the common entrance test for the Journalism course will be coordinated
by Maharaja Agrasen College. Principal of Maharaja Agrasen
College said that earlier, students had to travel from one college to
another to apply for the B.A. (Hons.) Journalism Course.
"Several times, the dates for the entrance tests for Journalism at different colleges
had clashed and students had to give up appearing for some. Having a common admission
test for this course will help in solving this problem," he said.
He further added that the date for the entrance test has already been conveyed to
the university and the online application procedure for the test will be on the
lines of the BBE,
BBS
and
BFIA admissions.
Nearly 4000 applications for the test are expected to be received this time. There
will be a separate online portal for the application to the test that would include
online fee submission and grievance redressal. The portal will also be linked to
the DU website as well as websites of all individual colleges.
