Updated on: Monday, April 11, 2011

Delhi University (DU) plans to conduct a common entrance test for UG journalism course offered through its affliated colleges for the benefit of students.

Currently, five colleges offer journalism course at DU that include Delhi College of Arts and Commerce, Kamala Nehru College, Lady Sri Ram College, Kalindi College and Maharaja Agrasen College.

All these five colleges are part of the test that would be conducted on June 19.

Final discussions to finalize the modalities of admission to the course are still going on.

The application procedure for the course will be completely conducted online.

In its first year, the common entrance test for the Journalism course will be coordinated by Maharaja Agrasen College.

Principal of Maharaja Agrasen College said that earlier, students had to travel from one college to another to apply for the B.A. (Hons.) Journalism course.

"Several times, the dates for the entrance tests for Journalism at different colleges had clashed and students had to give up appearing for some. Having a common admission test for this course will help in solving this problem," he said.

Nearly 4000 applications are expected this academic year.
