Duplication of paperwork has sent the swarming crowd of DU aspirants from across the country for multiple trips.
After a two-day respite, students and parents rushed to Delhi University colleges to secure seats, defying scorching heat. Chaos continued on the North Campus on the second day of document verification of admission process.
Duplication of paperwork has sent the swarming crowd of DU aspirants from across the country for multiple trips. However, admission officials of DU colleges failed to make the drill easy as a day after releasing the first cut off list, top brass colleges like Ramjas and Shri Ram College of Commerce could barely admit 100 students.
"I had uploaded all my documents, and have come to get them verified. It is my second day on campus and I am still waiting for my turn. I was sent back by college officials on Saturday evening," said Veni Agrawal who had flown down to Delhi from Jaipur.
"There has been a lot of confusion regarding documents that candidates are expected to bring along during verification. While some students forget to carry crucial documents along, we have also seen ones who are facing trouble with the online portal," said Himangshu, a volunteer at DU admission help desk.
IN DOING AWAY WITH PHYSICAL SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS
According to online admission procedure, introduced by the varsity last year, aspirants are required to upload 13 documents - including Class 10 and 12 certificates and marksheets, a scanned copy of their signature, recent photograph and character certificate. Aspirants from outside Delhi also need to upload transfer and migration certificates. The university officials had further decided to do away with the physical submission of documents.
"We have to run the original documents through three rounds of verification, including a forensic authentication by a team of experts. It is a tedious process as we do not want to give way to the racket of fake documents," said P C Tulsian, acting principal at Ramjas College.
Admission committee officials claim that several students do not take the mandatory upload guidelines issued by Delhi University seriously.
"It is an inevitable process as several students take the documentation work during online registration for granted. SRCC has seen cases where applicants have filled their marks obtained as total marks," said Reena Chadha, assistant professor at Shri Ram College of Commerce.
"In case of students from Telangana board, we have to calculate the average of percentage secured by a student in Class 11 and 12. This cannot be done during the online upload and hence we have to conduct the verification again with original documents,"
