Delhi University has opened applications for its Competence Enhancement Scheme (CES) for the 2026 odd semester, allowing candidates to enroll in individual papers offered by university departments and colleges, per the official CES portal.
The University of Delhi opened applications for its Competence Enhancement Scheme (CES) for the 2026 odd semester on September 2, allowing candidates to register for individual papers offered by university departments and colleges without enrolling in a full degree programme, according to the official CES portal.
According to the portal, an applicant may register for a maximum of two papers or eight credits in a semester, whichever is reached earlier, and must pay a fee of Rs 6,000 per paper once the application is verified. Working professionals are required to upload a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from their employer, while candidates already enrolled in a regular DU programme are not eligible to apply. Applicants are directed to consult the DU Syllabi portal to identify the programme, semester, course name, course code, and credits before submitting their form for departmental scrutiny.
Once a form is verified, candidates must pay the course fee through DU’s Miscellaneous Fee payment system and submit a copy of the receipt to the concerned office to confirm admission. Seats allotted under CES are treated as supernumerary and do not affect the intake of regular students, with selection dependent on availability in the relevant department or college.
CES was rolled out in DU’s centenary year in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, with the Institute of Lifelong Learning (ILLL) serving as the nodal agency for the scheme. The ILLL describes its mandate as supporting learners for whom education is “neither age-bound nor classroom-bound.”
