Delhi University faces PhD admission irregularities concerns

Delhi University Students' Union president Ronak Khatri has raised concerns about irregularities in the PhD admission process. He claims admissions are based on personal interviews rather than the required weightage of National Eligibility Test scores, violating UGC guidelines. Khatri alleges that ideological affiliations influence admissions, calling for the university to release candidates' scores for verification. He has also requested an investigation from the Union Ministry of Education. The Delhi University administration has denied these claims, stating that admissions comply with UGC norms. The dean of admissions, Haneet Gandhi, noted that no formal complaints have been received from the students' union.
