Delhi University has issued guidelines for admission of students to the four-year undergraduate programme in sports category. Five percent seats are reserved in all colleges for those seeking admission in the combined category of sports and extracurricular activities (ECA) on supernumerary basis.According to the guidelines, these are two-step admissions--in the super cate gory and trial category .
Those who have participated in international sporting events fall in the super category and are eligible for direct admission. The rest need to take fitness tests to be followed by sports trials. There will be three tests--strength, endurance and speed.
Aspirants must apply in individual colleges. Colleges are being asked to notify their requirement of players of different sports in their prospectus.
“Admission will be based on sports trials which will have a maximum of 50 marks and sports certificates, also having a maximum of 50 marks. A minimum of 18 marks must be scored by the candidate in sports trials,“ joint dean of students' welfare Malay Neerav said.
Each college will have a sports admission committee in which the principal will be the chairperson and the teacher in charge of physical education the convener. The committee will also have a physical education teacher as member, one expert nominated by the college from the confidential list given by the DU sports council, one facul ty member nominated by the sport council, one regular bona fide sports student representative, one DU sports council representative and one vice-chancellor's nominee as observer.
Before the sports trials, candidates, other than those from the super category , need to qualify in a fitness trial. A candidate needs to qualify in two of them, except those from the field of archery , shooting and chess who need to qualify in one test. “A student needs to get the fitness certificate only once from any of the colleges,“ Neerav said.
