Education Alert: Opportunity for study and research abroad! DU has changed its rules—what CGPA is required for selection?
Delhi University has established new rules regarding the selection process and eligibility criteria for students, research scholars, and faculty members participating in mobility programs. These rules define the qualifications, selection committee structure, and evaluation standards for applicants across various categories.
The selection of students will be based on their academic record, an interview, and other specified criteria. For PhD scholars, particular emphasis will be placed on their research proposal and the availability of an invitation letter or offer from a foreign university. The Erasmus program serves as an exchange initiative, facilitating study, research, and academic experience abroad. Applicants must be currently registered as students at Delhi University.
Students must not have any pending papers (backlogs) from previous semesters. Additional requirements include a minimum attendance of 66.67 percent, proficiency in the required language, and a passport with a validity of at least two years. A minimum CGPA of 7.5 is required for students in the General, Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) categories, while a minimum CGPA of 6.5 is required for students belonging to the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) categories.
Selection Criteria for Students
Academic records will carry a 50 percent weightage in the selection process, while the interview will account for 30 percent. The statement of purpose, faculty recommendations, research contributions within the department, and attendance will each carry a 5 percent weightage. PhD scholars are eligible to apply only if they have completed their required coursework.
Furthermore, applicants must provide recommendations regarding their academic performance, proof of the necessary language proficiency, and an acceptance letter from a foreign university. For PhD scholars, the research proposal will carry a 40 percent weightage, and the interview will account for 30 percent. Holding a UGC-CSIR NET or JRF qualification will carry a 10 percent weightage, while the expertise of the host (foreign) supervisor will account for 20 percent. Candidates with published research papers will be given preference during the selection process.
What should you keep in mind before applying?
Before applying for the Erasmus Mobility Programme, candidates should verify their eligibility and ensure they have the necessary documents. It is essential to meet requirements related to academic records, attendance, language proficiency, and passport validity. PhD scholars must also have their research proposals and documents about the foreign university ready. Candidates should note that the selection criteria for students and scholars differ; therefore, it is important to understand the specific rules applicable to your category before applying.
