DU announces committee to conduct DUSU elections
The Delhi University on Thursday announced a three-member committee to conduct the 2024-25 Delhi University Student Union (DUSU) elections.
The help desk for undergraduate admissions at Delhi University remained closed on Friday, causing a great deal of inconvenience to admission seekers who were seen returning disappointed without having their grievances settled. The DU help desk is supposed to be a single window to address all grievances related to admissions.
It was closed to protest the alleged misbehavior of a student leader with members of the grievance committee over an admission-related grievance. Admission seekers paid the price in this dispute between the varsity administration and student leaders.
