Teachers' Body Urges Delhi University to Review Five Years of Admission Data Before 2026-27 Enrolment

A teachers' body has urged Delhi University to collect detailed admission data from the past five years across all colleges and departments before starting the 2026-27 enrolment process. The Forum of Academics for Social Justice alleges that despite increased admissions and the introduction of a 10% quota for economically weaker sections, reserved category seats often remain vacant. It also called for full implementation of reservation guidelines, transparency through data uploads, and effective monitoring committees in colleges.
