DUSU to set up 21 information centres

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, JUNE 6. In its preparations for the forthcoming session, the Delhi University Students Union would be putting up 21 admission information centres at various points in the University as well as run a shuttle service under the new traffic arrangements on north campus from Wednesday.

The new traffic arrangement has been done to avoid traffic congestion and make it easier for admission seekers. According to this arrangement, four of the eight entry points would be closed while two others have been made one-way. This would leave just the University Road and the Chhatra Marg open for regular traffic.

The shuttle service for the convenience of students would be run from Hansraj College. While one bus would move clockwise, the other would run anti-clockwise. Explaining the arrangement, the DUSU president, Ms. Ritu Verma, said: ``As per our calculations, either of the buses would be available every 15 minutes at each stop. The service would run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This change is also an important step towards making a compact campus.''

Of the 21 admission information centres, five would be set up on North Campus and the rest would be spread out in the covering most colleges around the city. These booths will provide a bulletin detailing information about the admission process and the previous year's cut-off list.

Further, DUSU has advised prospective students to inform them in case they came across some wrong practice in any college. Ms. Verma also urged candidates not to fall prey to any misinformation suggesting that anyone below 60 per cent marks should not apply.

This apart, even the Progressive Students Union would also be setting up six information centres of its own, of which the one at the Delhi University Sports Complex would exclusively for SC/ST students. The Union would also be running a flying squad to monitor the admission process.
