DU Admission 2018 - Moderation Policy is likely to be implemented for all the applicants of State and National Boards.

This would be done from the coming academic session.
55 Examination boards would be sent letters by the Delhi University, which would include the information regarding the moderation policy followed by them. Moderation policy is actually a practice in which students are awarded extra marks for comparatively difficult questions in any subject.

What Officials have to say about Adapting Normalisation Policy by DU
As per the officials, this moderation will give a fair chance to all the students of different boards. As per now, the University accepts the same marks as allotted by the different boards. But it becomes difficult for the students as some Boards follow easy marking while checking the answer sheets, so even the average students get good marks.
By this method, these students fulfil the cut-off very easily while the deserving candidate from another board will not be able to maintain the same marks, due to the difference in marking method. The officials said that for now, they are not in the state to tell that what kind of normalisation methods will be used.
It will be decided after going through the responses and replies of different boards on their marking scheme and moderation policy. The Human Resource Ministry has also asked the Boards for the explanation of moderation policy, but all the boards have not replied on this. The online application process for DU admissions for undergraduate courses will start in May end or by the first week of June 2018.
