To apply candidates can visit the official website of DU. Delhi University has opened applications for the Competence Enhancement Scheme (CES) for the academic year 2025-26.
Launch of CES Supports Lifelong Learning in Education
The new Continuing Education System (CES) has been launched to align with the goals of India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes inclusive education and lifelong learning. The Institute of Lifelong Learning (ILLL) states that CES aims to assist individuals at any stage of their life in returning to academics, broadening their knowledge, and enhancing their qualifications.
Under this scheme, learners will have the opportunity to attend classes with regular students and choose subjects that match their educational background and eligibility. This creates a learning environment where people can continue their academic journey without being limited by age or traditional admission timelines. Click here to apply
Candidates interested in applying for CES must meet the minimum educational requirements and any additional conditions specified for their chosen paper. Admission will be granted based on the availability of seats in the concerned departments or colleges. Delhi University has stated that CES admissions will be offered through additional or supernumerary seats. These seats will be separate from regular admission seats and will not affect opportunities available to other students. The registration process will remain open throughout the year. Those interested can visit DU and the ILLL website for detailed information about available courses, eligibility rules, fees, and application procedures.
