DU Clarifies 'Error' Listing Muslim As Mother Tongue In Admission Form, Calls it 'Oversight'

Last Updated: Urdu, a language spoken by many Muslims in India and officially recognised under the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, from the list was excluded from the list. Delhi University's undergraduate admission portal, which launched on Thursday, June 20, included a communally insensitive error that has caused significant outrage. In the mother tongue section, 'Muslim" was erroneously listed as an option. This mistake was compounded by the exclusion of Urdu, a language spoken by many Muslims in India and officially recognised under the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, from the list. Addressing the issue, Delhi University called the matter 'unintentional oversight" and said it was an 'error" on the varsity's part. 'The University of Delhi sincerely regrets the inadvertent error in its admission form. We acknowledge your concerns and are committed to addressing them. However, attributing ulterior motives to this entirely unintentional oversight is unwarranted. We request all, not to vitiate the University's diverse and harmonious environment," DU posted on microblogging site, X. Delhi University launched the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal for undergraduate admissions for the 2025-26 academic year on June 17. The university is offering 79 courses across 69 affiliated colleges, with a total of 71,624 seats available for the upcoming academic session. Undergraduate admissions this year will be determined solely by CUET-UG 2025 scores. Initially, students must register using their CUET UG roll number. They will then need to provide personal details, educational qualifications, category certificate (if applicable), and EWS or PWD certificate. Additional documents must also be uploaded to the portal. While CUET UG scores are automatically uploaded, students must ensure all their details are correctly entered. Based on this information, students can then select their preferred courses and colleges in the second phase. First Published: June 21, 2025, 15:00 IST

Drop attempt to murder charge: Himachal leader of Opposition

Jun 22, 2025 08:44 AM IST Leader of Opposition and former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur on Saturday demanded the state government to immediately drop the attempt to murder charges that has been registered against BJP leaders, including state president Rajeev Bindal, and Paonta Sahib MLA Sukh Ram Chaudhary in a case of stone-pelting that took place few days ago. He also demanded stern action against the main culprit of the incident. Himachal leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur (File) While addressing a press conference, Jai Ram said, 'What happened in Paonta Sahib was clearly a matter of Love Jihad and just like many other such instances involving people of Hindu and Muslim community, action was only initiated against Hindus while no action was taken against the Muslims, which clearly reflects the anti-Sanatan mindset of the government.' 'In a complaint filed by an ASI who was injured in the incident, he had mentioned that it were the people of Muslim community who instigated the violence and pelted the stones first,' Jai Ram said. 'While no action was taken against the accused boy, police arrested four individuals,' he added. 'Being a public representative several BJP leaders were also present during the situation, however, they were not present at the site where violence erupted; still they were booked under Section 109 of BNS,' said Jai Ram. 'The FIR is a result of political vendetta and it looks like the state government saw an opportunity to falsely implicate the top leaders of BJP,' he added.
