Students throng Open House held at DU
The first day of the Open House held by Delhi University’s Dean of Students’ Welfare saw a large student turnout. The aspiring candidates had a volley of questions ranging from career options to course types and accommodation on campus. The event, held at Conference Centre, North Campus, was attended by over 250 people, including students’ parents.
The student volunteers of the university gave a presentation to the aspiring students about the admission process in Delhi University. The 40-minute presentation addressed issues like admission procedure, availability of forms, centres for collecting forms, courses offered and the number of hostels. “I was so confused all this while about the admission process in Delhi University. Now I think my ideas are quite clear,” said a student Lakshya Taneja of Lakshman Public School.
The session not just had students from Delhi, but also from outside the Capital. Nikhil Prakash from Kerala, who was in Delhi, also attended the session. “I was in the city for a holiday. I read in the newspaper about the Open House and so I came here to attend the meet,” he said. Nikhil said that the session was an eye-opener for him. “I had no idea about Delhi University, its colleges and courses. But now I know that if I take admission here, I will get a good college as well as a hostel,” he said.
The office of the Dean of Student Welfare has been conducting Open Days for the past several years now. “I have been involved with this programme from the past seven years and I believe that this is the best time for counselling students, so that they can take the right career decision,” said Professor Gurpreet Tuteja, Deputy Dean of Students’ Welfare.
Besides Tuteja, Gulshan Sawhney, Deputy Dean Students’ Welfare and Dr Suchita Gupta of Hindu College attended to the students’ queries. The DSW hopes that more students will attend the session in the days to come. “We want the students to come in large numbers and draw benefit from these sessions,” said Gupta. The Open Days that started on Saturday will go on till June 2. At North Campus the session will be organised at Conference Centre on May 27 and 31 and on June 1 and 2. At South Campus, it will be held at SP Jain Centre on May 28, 29 and 30.
