Admissions
University offers various courses related to Engineering, Management, Law, Science at both under graduate and post graduate levels. There are two ways to get a seat in this educational institution. One is through a written test, the other is through a direct entry based on merit.

CAT scores will be considered for admissions into management courses. Medical admissions will be done based on NEET scores. The courses at graduate level are known as B.A, B.A HONS.

For post graduation courses, applicants must have a pass in the relevant degree course with at least 55% to 60% marks. Candidates can check for the updates at the right time here on this link of Delhi University.

Important dates
For undergraduate course (merit based course) admission, application issuing begins on 4th week of May, the last date to submit the application from is 3rd week of June.

Subsequently there will be four rounds of cut-off releasing each cut off release will be followed by document verification and admission approval. For admission into undergraduate course through entrance test based system, application issuing will begin on 2 April through online system.

The application fee is Rs 100 for SC,ST,PWD and EWS category candidates. Application fee for UG course (entrance test) based and post graduate courses is Rs 750 for UR and OBC category candidates and Rs 300 for SC,ST and PwD candidates.

Exam pattern
The entrance test for admissions into Delhi University will have multiple choice question format. And duration of the test will be for five hours. Each right answer will get four marks, a wrong answer will make the applicant lose one mark. The total number of questions will be 100.

Syllabus
Applicants must answers questions related to 12th standard level subjects in the entrance test for graduate course admission. The subjects are maths, physics, english, chemistry, biology, commerce.

For post graduate admission applicants must read graduate level lessons related to their subject of choice. If candidates aspires to study Journalism in post graduation, he or she must study lessons related to Journalism in the under graduate level to crack the exam.

Post Exam
Applicants will get to download the answer key, post the entrance test. Answer key will have all the right answers, using this candidates can make a guess as to how many marks they are going to get.

In case of some discrepancy, candidates can report the same to the authorities concerned within 48 hours after the answer key is uploaded. Final answer key will be released after that.

The technology was developed by Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh and his team from the Department of Chemical Engineering in IIT Kanpur.

To facilitate its widespread adoption, IIT Kanpur has signed a technology transfer MoU with ScaNxt Scientific Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

The pact was signed in the presence of Prof. Raja Angamuthu, Associate Dean of Research & Development, IIT Kanpur and Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh (Inventor).

Device

The Soil Nutrient Sensing Device is a compact, smartphone-compatible innovation that provides real-time soil nutrient analysis, addressing the critical gap in timely soil testing for Indian farmers, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

Traditionally reliant on district laboratories, farmers often face delays in receiving soil health assessments, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

Portability

Designed for portability and ease of use, the device can assess multiple soil parameters simultaneously, storing data on a cloud server, with a single charge supporting up to 250 tests, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

This pioneering device leverages Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy to deliver instant soil health insights directly to a smartphone, eliminating the need for chemical reagents and complex testing processes.

By enabling precise nutrient management, the technology has the potential to transform agriculture, enhancing crop productivity, reducing fertilizer overuse, and contributing to both improved farmer incomes and environmental sustainability, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

By providing instant, reagent-free testing with Near Infrared Spectroscopy, this technology empowers farmers to make informed decisions, optimize fertilizer use, and boost productivity, he said.

Through our collaboration with ScaNxt Scientific Technologies, we aim to transform Indian agriculture and take this pioneering innovation to global markets, supporting the vision of sustainable farming practices, he said.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh and his team for this groundbreaking development, he said.

Inventor

Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh (inventor) said their development is a culmination of years of research and hard work aimed at addressing the real challenges farmers face in soil health assessment.

It’s truly gratifying to see this innovation, which offers immediate and accuratesoil analysis, now being transferred to ScaNxt Scientific Technologies for broader adoption, said Prof Jayant Kumar of IIT Kanpur.

This device not only empowers farmers with instant insights but also supports the creation of a national soil stack, aiding in better fertilizer management and promoting sustainability, he said.

I am excited to witness the positive impact it will have, both on the ground and at the policy level, as it contributes to a more sustainable and efficient agricultural landscape, he said.

Their collaboration with IIT Kanpur through the joint MoU will allow us to advance soil testing technologies further, integrating micro and secondary nutrient analysis into our BhuParikshak device, he said.

By combining NIR Spectroscopy, IoT, and AI/ML, we aim to provide farmers with even more precise and actionable data to optimize nutrient management and drive sustainable agricultural growth, he said.

Market and collaboration

The Indian soil testing equipment market, currently valued at approximately USD 114.43 million as of 2024, is set for significant expansion.

Driven by the increasing demand for efficient agricultural productivity solutions and the need for climate resilience, this market is projected to reach USD 145.83 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.08%.

This collaboration sets the stage for a transformative shift in soil health management, equipping farmers with immediate, data-driven insights and promoting sustainable agricultural practices both in India and globally.
