New Delhi: The process of admissions to the
colleges of Delhi University began today with the sale of
around 2,000 information bulletins on the first day and

the students of the admission process and counsel them to
clear doubts in their minds.
While an estimated 2,000 information bulletins were sold
on the first day, officials are expecting an increased rush
from Monday.

made today while 16 students turned up in the physically
disabled students' category," said Dr Gulshan Sawhney,
Deputy, Dean Students Welfare.
Besides, over 1500 students and parents attended 'open
day' sessions at the Conference Centre in North Campus.

the aspiring students, telling them about various courses and
colleges, eligibility criteria and the admission process. The

of the prestigious Sri Ram College of Commerce.
