The University of Delhi has started admissions for its newly introduced one-year postgraduate programmes, becoming one of the first institutions to implement this academic pathway under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Registrations opened on July 5 and are currently available only to students who have completed Delhi University's four-year undergraduate programme under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF) 2022.

Eligibility and Admission Process

Admissions to the one-year master's programmes will be granted on the basis of merit. Applicants must have completed a four-year bachelor's degree from Delhi University and meet the eligibility requirements for their selected postgraduate course. Applications can be submitted through the university's postgraduate admission portal.

The initiative forms part of Delhi University's phased implementation of NEP 2020, allowing eligible graduates to complete a master's degree in one year instead of following the traditional two-year postgraduate route.

New Academic Opportunities

Students who have successfully completed a four-year undergraduate programme with the required academic credits are eligible to pursue the accelerated master's degree. Alongside this, the university has also opened admissions for its two-year M.Sc. programme in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology for candidates who have qualified the GAT-B 2026 examination.

Updates on Other Admission Processes
