Delhi University (DU) has published a notification dated 22 October 2026 outlining the selection process for Erasmus mobility opportunities available to its students, PhD scholars, faculty members, and staff. The Erasmus+ mobility agreements are managed either by DU’s International Relations (IR) Office or by individual university departments, and selection procedures differ accordingly.
Department-Managed Erasmus Mobility Selection
When the mobility is coordinated through individual departments, the departments themselves invite applications from eligible students and PhD scholars. A departmental selection committee consisting of the Head of the Department, a senior eligible faculty member, a member nominated by the Vice-Chancellor upon recommendation from the Chairperson of International Relations, and the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) coordinator will screen and finalise the candidates based on pre-defined eligibility criteria.
Applicants must monitor notices from their specific departments as application deadlines and criteria may vary per department and are not uniformly specified on the university’s notification.
International Relations Office-Managed Erasmus Mobility Selection
For Erasmus mobility agreements coordinated directly by the IR Office, application notices are circulated by the IR Office to all concerned departments and colleges and published on the IR Office website to maximise outreach. Applications must be forwarded by the Head of the Institution and submitted within the stipulated deadline for screening and selection by the IR Office committee.
Significance and Guidance
This selection process aims to provide a transparent and standardised approach for all Erasmus mobility opportunities available at DU, fostering international academic exchange for university constituents. Prospective applicants are strongly advised to verify whether their intended Erasmus opportunity is managed by their department or the IR Office and follow the appropriate application procedures carefully.
