DU Admission Help Desk & Helpline: Here are the Crazy Questions People Ask!

For its quality of education, diversity and flamboyant crowd, DU attracts a large number of students from different regions of the country. The application process for the university has begun and students are eager to secure a seat in the best colleges affiliated to DU.

The university has totally digitised the application process and this has raised a lot of confusion as well as queries from the end of students. Although DU is operating a help desk, the Administration reports that there has been an explosion of queries.

DU experts and volunteers who run the helplines have reported that students, as well as parents, ask some of the most bizarre questions possible.

Let’s check out the crazy questions students ask at helplines and help desks:

The college dilemma: Which is the better college amongst KMC or Kirori Mal College?

The abbreviation problem: Are KNC and KMC two separate colleges?

High Expectations: Can I take trial class before finalising my admission to any colleges? I want to make sure that the faculty is good!

The students who volunteered to take student queries that come through the helpline informed that there are a lot of students who have valid questions and need a little assistance in completing the procedure. However, there are students who don’t have a clue about the proceedings of DU admissions, informed Sagar, a student volunteer from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College.

Another volunteer, Nikita Sehrawat said that a student came along with her father asking some strange questions about the ECA Trials. They wanted to know whether a student applying through sports quota in shooting will have to appear for athletics try-outs along with shooting.
