DU registrar Vikas Gupta confirmed the university will announce the first list of seats for admission to undergraduate courses on Wednesday by 5 pm.
The varsity has deferred the release of the list by a day as the SC was set to hear on Wednesday the St Stephen’s plea against High Court’s order.
“The court has decided in the right spirit. As a matter to respect to the court we delayed the list. We are there for the students. They will face no issue during admission. Students need not to worry. The admission will be conducted as scheduled and the session will start on November 2,” Gupta told PTI over the phone.
