NEP goal: DU invites applications for CES scheme, session to begin in August
The scheme, aligned with the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, offers a unique opportunity for lifelong learners to study alongside regular students in semester I, III, and V courses offered by various departments and colleges of the university.
The CES initiative is designed to support individuals of any age in enhancing their academic knowledge. It especially aims to serve those who may have missed earlier educational opportunities and provides a platform for skill upgrading using the latest technology and innovation.
Under the scheme, individuals meeting the eligibility and course-specific prerequisites can apply. Admissions are subject to the availability of seats, which will be treated as supernumerary, ensuring they do not displace regular students.
Applicants can choose from a wide range of papers listed in the CES e-brochure, available on the University of Delhi's admission portal (www.admission.uod.du.ac.in) and the website of the Institute of Lifelong Learning (ILLL). The registration window for CES is open from July 24 to July 29, with admissions beginning July 29. The academic session will commence on August 1.

DU Sees Higher Female Admissions Than Male Since CUET Launch: Govt Data
Last Updated: Since CUET's launch in 2022, Delhi University has consistently admitted more female students than before, reflecting a rise in women's participation in higher education. Delhi University (DU) has seen a consistent trend of more female students securing undergraduate admissions than male candidates since the launch of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in 2022, government data presented in Parliament shows. In the academic years 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25, DU admitted 34,010, 36,126, and 39,242 women students, respectively, outnumbering male admissions, which stood at 30,662, 32,425, and 33,124 for the same years. This data was shared by Minister of State for Education Dr Sukanta Majumdar in the Lok Sabha, in response to a question regarding the impact of CUET on female enrolment, particularly from remote regions. Contrary to concerns, the number of girls appearing for CUET (UG) has steadily increased: from 4.29 lakh in 2022–23 to 5.94 lakh in 2024–25. CUET was introduced as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to streamline university admissions and reduce pressure on students. Initially limited to central universities, CUET is now accepted by a wide range of institutions including state, deemed, and private universities with participating institutes rising from 90 in 2022 to 240 in 2024. Officials emphasised that the test offers a level playing field for students from diverse boards and geographies, helping bridge the access gap in higher education. The trend appears to reflect this aim, with growing enrolment of female students not just in DU, but across institutions in Delhi-NCR as well. According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), the number of female undergraduate students in Delhi-NCR rose from 4.09 lakh in 2020–21 to 4.91 lakh in 2022–23, a clear indication of growing participation by women in higher education. To further encourage this trend, the government is running several schemes targeted at women in academia. The UGC's 'Development of Women's Studies" programme supports women's studies centres in universities and colleges. In technical education, the AICTE's Pragati scholarship aids meritorious female students. Meanwhile, the Department of Science and Technology operates initiatives like WISE-KIRAN and SERB-POWER to bolster the presence of women in science and research. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The data was shared by the Minister of State for Education Dr Sukanta Majumdar, in response to a question on whether CUET had led to a drop in girl student enrolment, especially from remote areas. Delhi University's new session off to a slow start, colleges await full house by Monday The Ministry maintained that CUET was introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to reduce pressure on students and create a common platform for university admissions. CUET is now accepted not just by Central Universities like DU, but also by State, Deemed, and Private Universities, with the number of participating institutions growing from 90 in the first year to 240 in the latest edition. Four-year undergraduate course in Delhi University has many challenges: Lack of faculty members is just one of them Officials emphasised that the test is designed to provide a level playing field across students from various boards and geographies, thereby improving access to higher education, particularly for those from rural and remote regions.

As per the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), 4.09 lakh girls were enrolled in 2020–21, 4.25 lakh in 2021–22, and 4.91 lakh in 2022–23, marking a consistent upward trend.

Additionally, scholarships such as AICTE's Pragati scheme support meritorious girl students in technical education. The Department of Science and Technology also runs dedicated programmes like WISE-KIRAN and SERBPOWER to support women in science and research roles across academic and R&D institutions.
