NCWEB relief for girls who don't get regular seats

New Delhi: Female applicants from Delhi-NCT seeking admission at Delhi University's Non Collegiate Women's Education Board (NCWEB) have reason to celebrate. 

Those who applied to the B.A. (Programme) and B.Com courses for the regular colleges at the time of registration will now also be eligible for admission to NCWEB. The decision, which was taken by the admission committee, comes as a relief to the female applicants from Delhi, who missed the opportunity of applying to NCWEB as an option in DU registration form. This time around, 6,700 female candidates from Delhi-NCT had applied for BA (P) and B.Com for regular colleges. 

“After the second cut off list was declared, there were many girls who had come to NCWEB to take admission. But since they had not selected NCWEB as their option in the form, we had to turn them down. Following this, I requested the university to look into the matter and they came out with this decision, which will now give a fresh opportunity to secure admission to the board,” Dr Anju Gupta, NCWEB director said. NCWEB offers courses exclusively for women on Sundays for its two undergraduate BA and B.Com. programmes. This year, the board has added 468 seats more to its existing 11,732 seats, making it a total of 12,200 seats on offer.

 The increased seats will be offered at a new centre at Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) College in addition to its existing 25 centres.
