DU has added a new tab on its admission website that provides real-time data on the programme-college preferences that candidates are opting for. The tab, 'College-programme-wise preference count', will help candidates see how many aspirants have opted for a particular programme in a college. Data under this tab is updated every two hours.

The university launched an online platform last month for admissions through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). After the closure of the second phase, the university will release a simulated list of tentative allocations based on the CSAS-2022 policy. 'Allocated seat' refers to a unique combination of programme and college. For example, a BA (Hons) in psychology at college X is referred to as an 'allocated seat'.

Once a seat has been allocated in a particular round, the candidate needs to 'accept' the seat before the last date/time specified for the given allocation round. The concerned college will then check the eligibility of the candidate and documents uploaded by him or her. Once the college accords the approval, the candidate will have to pay the admission fee.
