The supposed last day of registrations to Delhi University's undergraduate saw students running helter-skelter to help desks and online centres to get assistance on completing the form and other formalities.

There are students whose Class XII results are yet to be declared, which includes students of the International Baccaulaureate (IB) Board and a few other boards.

Keeping the concerns of students in mind, the University decided to extend the deadline till Tuesday 5pm.

However, several students such as those of Uttar Pradesh board, especially in places where results have been declared late are helpless due to the deadline and the late result may cause them to lose their chance to register. Many students have faced issues in the past on the admissions portals, and the University has regularly assured and resolved such problems within two-three days.

There are, however, students who continue to have troubles with payment of fees. Some have even paid the fee twice just to make sure the registration is complete and a receipt is generated.

Mukul Sehrawat, a Statistics Honours aspirant, said: "I have given an application to the help desk to check whether or not my fee has been paid. I am really worried."

Neha Sharma, another applicant, said: "Fee receipt has been a major issue and I wish the University can give us a guarantee that it will be generated soon, given that portal is going to be closed soon and cut-offs are just a week away."

Nishika Khanna, who has applied for English Honours, said: "I have paid the fees twice and wonder whether the receipt has been generated."

Some have faced logistical problems, due to internet connectivity problems or lack of computing knowledge in uploading documents and paying fees online.

Satvik Kumar, a BCom aspirant, said: "Last date of admission registration is about to end and I am unable to upload my marksheet. I am going to Hansraj College where an online centre is helping students."

Dia Shekhawat, another aspirant, said: "I am from Uttar Pradesh board and my marksheet has not come yet. Therefore, DU must extend the deadline."

Gunjan Kaur, a History aspirant, said: "I don't know how to do credit or debit card payment and will ask someone to help me. DU can extend the deadline for other state boards I think."

Meanwhile, reacting to the report by Millennium Post on June 6 which talked about 'Gurukul-style' training lessons to be introduced in Ramjas College for freshers for the current admission process, the College authorities have said that the report is not official college policy as of now, and the views expressed are solely of Professor Dhani Ram, who was quoted in the story.
