“The University of Delhi sincerely regrets the inadvertent error in its admission form. We acknowledge your concerns and are committed to addressing them,” the Delhi University (DU) said in a statement on X.

“However, attributing ulterior motives to this entirely unintentional oversight is unwarranted. We request all not to vitiate the university’s diverse and harmonious environment,” the statement added.
