This year DU received 3, 20,799 applications for its 54,000 seats. “Over the years there are no increase of the seats in any of the DU colleges and the colleges are functioning on same old infrastructure whereas the private universities are coming up with new infrastructures, cent percent placement record, hi-tech classroom and, of course, easy selection criteria etc. Because of these factors they are alluring more students. The students also love to choose these private universities instead of DU,” said Dr Gita Baurah, parents of DU admission aspiring student.
What are the reasons that Private Universities are getting edge over DU Savita Mehta, Vice President-Communications, Amity Group Amity University says, “Over the last five years, the number of applicants has doubled in Amity University and every year, there has been a 10-15% increase in the number of programmes being offered by the University.

Several students agree to the fact that the private universities are introducing new subjects that are mostly job oriented and these universities have better tie up with the foreign universities for the higher education and the different multinational companies for placement. These private universities also have the provision of hiring visiting faculties from abroad and offering lots of scholarships.
