Friends
Please tell me whether a student can do courses at a time from the same university ? for e.g. whether a student can do M.A. as well as mcom from Delhi University ? Please don't relate it to CA & assume that the student is not doing CA. I am asking a general question

Yes, a student can pursue two academic programmes simultaneously, including combinations like M.A. and M.Com, provided certain conditions are met.
UGC Guidelines for Pursuing Two Academic Programmes Simultaneously
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued guidelines allowing students to pursue two academic programmes simultaneously under specific circumstances:
Two Full-Time Programmes in Physical Mode: Students may enroll in two full-time academic programmes in physical mode, provided that the class timings for one programme do not overlap with the class timings of the other programme.
