Delhi University is looking for it’s affiliated colleges to help forensic services to cure or eradicate admissions based on fraudulent documents.

This decision was originated after the fraudulent documents were recognized by the university which was submitted by the student Ankiv Baisoya who was admitted to University’s MA Buddhist Studies Programme and was also elected as student union president.

The need for the involvement of forensic services was discussed last year as well. Some colleges like Ramjas, Sri Venkateswara and Dyal Singh have been using such services for a few years.

“There has been no formal decision or discussion on this issue. A meeting with college principals will be convened to discuss the possibilities and find out how many will be willing to go through with this,” an official said. In the first meeting of the university’s admission committee for the 2019-2020 session held on Tuesday, reducing the number of documents required for admission was also discussed.

Rajeev Gupta, Dean, Students’ Welfare, said starting this year, transfer, migration and character certificates from the applicants’ schools will no longer be required during admission.

Another issued has been discussed which states that applicants will be able to make corrections in their admission forms after submitting them.

“This is a major issue brought up by applicants every year. In a lot of cases, the applicant is dependent on a third party to fill out their form — very often, this is a cyber cafe employee. They should not have to suffer from a casual mistake. We will try to rectify this by developing a portal for online corrections, which can be permitted until the cut-off lists are published,” said Gupta.
