DU UG Admissions 2024-25: Delhi University has released the first allocation list for undergraduate admissions for the 2024-25 academic year. In the 1st round of the Common Seat Allotment System (CSAS), 97,387 candidates have been offered a variety of program and college combinations.
To allocate the 71,600 sanctioned seats, the university assessed 5,682,017 unique cutoffs and ranks, as stated in the official release. Among the 245,287 candidates who applied for Phase 1 of CSAS-UG, 185,543 completed Phase 2 by submitting their preferences for programs and colleges. This process resulted in a total of 17,218,187 preferences.
This year, a new feature has been added to the candidate dashboard, enabling users to view cutoff details and ranks according to their category and quota. Delhi University will provide information on the common rank, cutoff rank, program-specific CUET score, and cutoff score for all applied programs. Admissions will be determined based on the Common Rank, so meeting the cutoff score alone does not ensure admission. Moreover, candidates with identical CUET scores may receive different ranks due to revised tie-breaking rules.
Ranks will not be assigned for performance-based programs (such as B.A. (Hons) Music, BSc (PE, HE&S), BFA) and certain supernumerary quotas (including Sports, ECA, CW, and Ward). The revised tie-breaking rules are as follows:
1. Higher percentage in the Best 3 subjects of Class 12.
2. If still tied, preference is given to a higher percentage in the Best 4 subjects of Class 12.
3. If needed, based on the Best 5 subjects of Class 10.
4. Age of the candidate, with older candidates receiving preference.
5. Alphabetical order of names.
Shortlisted candidates are advised to log in to their dashboard to accept their allocation by 4:59 pm on August 18 and submit their fees by 4:59 pm on August 21, 2024. Only candidates who complete the payment will be eligible for "upgrade" options in subsequent rounds. It is important for candidates to regularly check the university admission website for updates.
