The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) on Monday launched 11 flagship skill-based undergraduate courses and admissions for 6,000 seats in their inaugural academic year (2021-22) will begin from Tuesday.

”The university is formed with an aim of changing the entire paradigm of skilling, the whole idea is how do we make skilling aspirational and how do we become a partner in upskilling, reskilling of our nation and helping the industry in that entire process,” she said. Describing the newly launched flagship courses such as e-commerce operations, data analytics, digital design and media, facilities and hygiene management, medical laboratory technology, the vice-chancellor said, “The university aspires to support entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship directly. Our courses are industry embedded, there are partnerships and linkages in diploma and undergraduate degree program where we will prepare each student to face the world and in gaining employable skills for the industry.”
Adhering to Covid protocol, the admissions shall be completely online through the centralised admission portal of the university (www.dseuonline.in).

”We want the student to go and make a career in the industry. For this, we would like the student to ascertain their interest and then take admission so that later they do not feel stuck in a vocation,” she said. ”The curriculum for all courses including the established diploma courses are being revamped by experts from academia and industry to ensure that the courses comply with market requirements, with a special emphasis on employability and life skills via experiential learning.
