So far, the university is doing it in a centralised way. The colleges will not be deciding, they will be sending us students based on the preferences that students have put in their forms and on the basis of how high they are on the merit list.   They are saying that it should not take too long because the system will avoid repetition as it will be done on the basis of the student’s choices. This means that we will not have to take out a second, third, fourth list. Earlier, students would take admission in one college and then leave when their name came out in the third list of another college. They say that that will be avoided, but I am not too sure.   They won’t take admission in one institute and then drop out It is meant to save time, but I am not sure if it will work. Previously, the merit list would be made by DU and then the students will go to the respective colleges. The colleges' role is to just admit the students. Even in earlier years, that is how It was done in colleges, besides Stephen’s which would conduct interviews. They would not take out a merit list, but announce a cut-off, based on which a particular number of students would apply.
