INTRODUCTION
The University of Delhi was incorporated as a unitary teaching and residential University by an Act of Central Legislature in 1922. In 1933 an important step was taken towards the development of the University when the old Vice Regal Lodge with its extensive gardens was made available to the University. Sites were then offered to the constituent colleges on certain conditions. In 1943 the University was given a federal structure with the colleges as its constituent units. In 1953, a distinction was introduced between constituent and affiliated colleges, the former being those which were allowed to organize both Pass and Honours Courses at the under-graduate level and the latter being those which were permitted to organize instructions only for the Pass Courses. The present arrangement is that almost all the under -graduate teaching is done in the colleges, while the University organizes post-graduate teaching and research with its own staff. The staff appointed in the colleges, are also associated under co-operative teaching scheme.
The President of India is the Visitor, the Vice-President of India is the Chancellor and the Chief Justice of India is the Pro-Chancellor of this University. Prof. Dinesh Singh, an eminent Mathematician, is the Vice-Chancellor of the University since October 29th, 2010.
The University enclave covers an area around 700 acres. There has been a considerable increase
Information Bulletin 2012-2013
in student enrolment in recent years. The number of students on roll (including those taking, correspondence courses) at present is approximately 4,50,000 as compared to 27,905, in August 1964, in 103 Colleges and Institutions, 86 Post-graduate Departments and 16 Faculties.
In an effort to cope with this enormous expansion, while continuing to maintain its high academic standards, the University initiated in the early seventies a new organizational pattern based on concept of a multi-campus institution.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The University of Delhi does not have any provision of scholarships for foreign students. However, some scholarships are granted by the Government of India under various schemes. Students are advised to contact the nearest Indian Mission for necessary information about these scholarships. Students may also consult the UNESCO handbook STUDY ABROAD which lists some scholarships and the addresses to which applications should be made directly.
EMPLOYMENT
Foreign students should not depend on obtaining work in India for covering their expenses while studying. In fact, to do part-time employment during the academic session is almost impossible. Students coming to India should have enough money to cover all the expenses of fee including boarding & lodging.
Information Bulletin 2012-2013
STUDENT LIFE
At present, from 70-80 different countries about 1500 foreign students are enrolled in the University. Indian students are generally friendly and informal and therefore foreign students do not face difficulty in adjusting with student community.
