The Delhi University’s four Sikh minority colleges will begin their common online registrati­on on Friday.

NEW DELHI : Delhi University’s four Sikh minority colleges will begin their common online registrati­on on Friday, four days after the university started its central registrati­on process.

The four colleges are Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College of Commerce, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Khalsa College, and Mata Sundri College for Women.

There is a common website www.dukhalsaco­lleges.com where registrati­on for all four colleges will be done.

These colleges, which are maintained by the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC), a statutory body establishe­d under an Act of the Parliament, reserve 50% seats for Sikh students.

“We will start the online registrati­on process from tomorrow. There is a common form for the four colleges and students can take admission wherever you meet the cutoff. Students can fill in all the personal details in the form and when the results will be declared, they will be able to complete it,” said an official.

Students who want to apply to these colleges will have to first register at the university’s common registrati­on form and generate a registrati­on number.

“Students will have to fill the central registrati­on number in the common form and all the details already submitted by them in the central form will automatica­lly be updated here,” said Jaswinder Singh, principal of SGTB Khalsa College.

Singh said applicants will have to fill a separate registrati­on fee of Rs 100.

Students will have to get their Sikh Minority Certificat­e made from the office of Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC), Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, before admission.

“This certificat­e is mandatory for candidates seeking admission under minority category,” officials said.

Two other minority colleges –St Stephen’s and Jesus and Mary College –had started their online registrati­on process on Monday along with DU’s centralize­d registrati­on process.

For admission to any of the minority college, a student will have to fill the separate college form after registerin­g with the university.

“This year we have developed a system that the general informatio­n provided by the candidate in the central registrati­on form will automatica­lly be updated in the college specific form,” said Ashutosh Bhardwaj, officer on special duty (OSD), admissions.

For 57 courses across different colleges last year, DU had received over 3.6 lakh applicatio­ns. For clearing admission related queries, DU is holding a 10-day ‘Open Days’ event. An admission help desk has also been set up at the North Campus conference centre, which works from 10 am till 5pm.
