With registration open from May 28 to June 22, 2025, DSEU aims to bridge the gap between education and employment by aligning its courses with industry under the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University Act in 2020, DSEU has rapidly grown into one of India's top skill-focused institutions. In 2024, Outlook magazine ranked it the second-best skill university in India, a recognition that reflects its emphasis on practical learning and entrepreneurial university offers over 100 programmes across 21 campuses, including diplomas in robotic automation and precision engineering, BTech courses in data science and network security, and specialised degrees like BA (Hons) in Spanish and BDes in Gems and Jewellery Design. Short-term certificate courses in areas such as welding, digital marketing, HVAC, and conservation of textiles are also MODEL WITH INDUSTRY INTEGRATION Admissions to most BTech programmes will be based on JEE Main scores, while other courses require Class10 or 12 standard qualifications, or NSQF-level credits. Notably, DSEU also facilitates lateral entry, multiple entry-exit options, and recognition of prior learning (RPL), aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP).The counselling process will begin with preference locking from June 23, and the first round of seat allotment will be announced on June 26.

Eyeing increase in student enrolment, DSEU to part ways with JAC, will admit students through JEE
In a major shift aimed at revamping its engineering admissions strategy, the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) will part ways with the Joint Admission Committee (JAC) for the upcoming 2025-26 academic session and instead admit students to its BTech programmes through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Launched in 2020 as a government-backed initiative to promote vocational and technical education, DSEU cited low enrollment in some engineering courses as the key reason for its decision. Speaking to The Indian Express, Vice-Chancellor Ashok Kumar Nagawat said: 'DSEU is not a technical institute like Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) or Delhi Technological University (DTU). We are a skills and entrepreneurship institute and have a different orientation in approaching technical subjects. Last year, we could only gather about 17 interested candidates for the Civil Engineering programme but had to refund their money since at least 20 of the 60 seats needed to be filled to run the programme.' Nagawat attributed the lack of interest to the dominance of older engineering institutions in the city. 'Students will mostly show interest in the older and more popular institutions. In other engineering programs, we had a good turnout, especially in BTech Electrical Engineering, AI, and Network Security Informatics. In Informatics, we filled about 55 seats last year,' he said. The JEE is a national-level engineering entrance exam conducted in two stages: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. JEE Main serves as the qualifying exam for admission to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other centrally funded technical institutions, as well as the eligibility test for JEE Advanced, which is required for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). In 2025, approximately 15.4 lakh candidates registered for JEE Main, with about 14.75 lakh appearing across the January and April sessions. DSEU will now consider the JEE Main score for admissions without being a part of the JAC. The Joint Admission Committee (JAC), launched in 2014 as an initiative of the Delhi government, was set up to 'avoid multiple admission counsellings and save the candidates and their guardians from the resulting inconvenience.' According to the JAC website, it currently facilitates undergraduate admissions for DTU, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW), Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), and NSUT. Meanwhile, the DSEU is expanding its academic offerings this year with 40 new programmes across undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and certificate levels. New courses include BTech in Robotics and Automation, BTech Tool Engineering (Executive batch), Diploma in Civil Engineering (Green Infrastructure), B.S. Environmental Science, B.S. Facility and Infrastructure Management, MBA in Entrepreneurship, and MS in Quantum Computing and Technologies. Certificate courses such as AI in Office Operations, Wheelchair Skill Training, and Installation and Repair of Solar Panels have also been introduced. DSEU plans to open its admissions portal this coming week. While the university is targeting a July 1 start for the new academic session, Nagawat acknowledged there may be delays depending on the counselling process. 'We positively plan on starting the session in August,' he said. 'We are a new institute, and it will take some time for us to flourish,' said Nagawat. 'But all efforts in that direction are underway.'
