Previously, faculties and departments issued their own schedule which includes application to entrance exam dates. But, from this year DU has decided to go with a common schedule, however the dates for entrance test will be finalised by the respective departments. DU has instructed the departments not to allow any overlapping of entrance tests as aspirants from all streams are eligible for interdisciplinary courses.

Unlike undergraduate admissions, where OMR forms can be bought, the PG application forms are not available on the admission counters. Faculties will conduct interviews whereas GD will be held as per the discretion of the faculty and the maximum weightage for GD is not higher than 15%.

Ten different faculties and the Cluster Innovation Centre will offer different Post Graduate courses under different departments.
