University of Delhi – DU
About University
The University of Delhi (DU) is a central university located at Delhi, India and is funded by Government of India. Established in 1922, it offers courses at the undergraduate and post-graduate level. The Vice-President of India is the Chancellor of the University of Delhi.
Past of the University 
The University of Delhi was established in 1922 as a unitary, teaching and residential university by an Act of the then Central Legislative Assembly. Only three colleges existed then in Delhi: St. Stephens College founded in 1881, Hindu College founded in 1899 and Ramjas College founded in 1917, which were affiliated to the University. The University thus had a modest beginning with just three colleges, two faculties (Arts and Science) and about 750 students. In October 1933, the University offices and the Library shifted to the Viceregal Lodge Estate, and till today this site is the nucleus of the University (Main Campus).
Apart from central administrative offices, examination offices and the sports complex, the main departments of the Faculty of Science are housed in the Viceregal Lodge Estate. Sir Maurice Gwyer, who was the then Vice Chancellor, realizing the importance of a distinguished faculty, searched for talent all over the country and brought men of eminence to this University, such as Prof. D S Kothari in Physics, Prof. T R Sheshadri in Chemistry, Prof. P Maheshwari in Botany and Prof. M L Bhatia in Zoology. Over the last seven decades the University has grown into one of the largest universities in India. At present, there are 14 faculties, 86 academic departments and 79 colleges spread all over the city, with about 2,200,000 students.
Courses offered
The University of Delhi South Campus conducts various teaching programmes under different faculties. Students joining courses such as English, Hindi, Philosophy, Sanskrit, Political Science, History, Commerce and Mathematics at the masters level, have the option to get themselves enrolled in the University, either through college or directly at the South Campus. Students have to fill in a Centralized Registration Form for admission, as the classes for these programmes are held in the South Campus and not in the Colleges. In all other subjects, the students, after getting the Admission Slip, have to get enrolled in the South Campus itself.
Courses such as Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Business Economics (MBE), Master of Finance and Control (MFC), M.Sc. Informatics have their own admission procedure etc.
Admission tests are held locally in Delhi for courses such as M.Tech in Microwave Electronics, M.Sc. Electronics (50% seats), M.Sc. Genetics, M.Sc. Plant Molecular Biology, M.Sc. Environmental Biology, M.A. Applied Psychology, M.A. Russian, Intensive Adv. diploma in Russian, PG Hindi Journalism – Certificate/Diploma. Candidates are advised to contact the Department Offices for Admission Forms and details.[6]
