Delhi University in a bid to make the process of admission more easier for prospective students has imbibed technology to devise an app called DU UG Admission 2014-2015. The app has been designed by Dr. Gurpreet Singh Tuteja for Android users and can be downloaded from the University website. The need for the app says Dr.Tuteja was eminent. “When you are on the website, there is a lot of information that you don’t want to see but on app it is specific. Students carry mobiles everywhere and with this app all information related to admission will be on their fingertips,” he says. 1

While it took Dr. Tuteja three months to develop the template, his students helped him check all the URL’s in the app. The salient features of the app are that all the information needed during the admission process has been segregated properly, the facility of Google maps has been employed to provide locations of colleges and the app gets continuously updated with the latest information on admission. ” The app gets its feeds directly from the website and Google, so if there is something on the website then it will be on the app,” says Dr. Tuteja.
