New Delhi:

Delhi University is going to launch a unique scheme called Competition Enhancement Scheme in its centenary year.

Along with implementing the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) from the academic year 2022-23, the University will also launch the Competition Enhancement Scheme (CES) to fulfill its objectives.

This plan has been approved in the meeting of the Academic Council of the university.

The scheme will be launched early next year (2023) as part of centenary celebrations.

It is worth mentioning that the Competition Enhancement Scheme is a scheme that gives an opportunity to individuals from different fields to study in DU to enhance their knowledge and understanding in any subject being taught in Delhi University.

This scheme will also provide opportunity to the students of other universities/institutions to study in some courses of DU.

This scheme is open for courses being run at undergraduate and postgraduate level. 



Plan goals:


DU Vice Chancellor Prof.

According to Yogesh Singh, the purpose of this scheme is to increase efficiency with new information.

He says that under this scheme entrepreneurs will be able to increase their business by acquiring new skills/technology.

Under this, the study of management courses will improve the managerial skills of the lower/middle level management personnel.

Those who could not get the requisite qualification earlier due to socio-economic conditions or any shortage during the then time, they will be able to fulfill their dreams of getting higher education from this scheme.

According to the Vice Chancellor, under this scheme, senior citizens will be able to play important roles by increasing their qualifications/knowledge/skills.

Traditional artisans, craftsmen or workers will improve their skills by learning to use latest technology/machine under this scheme and will upgrade themselves in using modern tools instead of traditional system.

Learning with young and energetic students will instill confidence, enthusiasm and a sense of purpose in them.

With this scheme, the resources of the University will be effectively utilized in a big way for the benefit of the people.

The objective of this scheme is also to increase the mobility of students by giving opportunity to the students admitted in other universities/institutions to study one to two courses in a semester without enrolling in any course of DU.

These will be the eligibility criteria:
