DU admission process revamps

For Delhi University admissions this year, Class 10 marks will also be considered, and if required, they will be used in tie-breaking rules. Candidates applying for admissions are advised to map the correct CUET paper to Class 12 subjects. Upon mapping correctly, only the programmes for eligible candidates will be visible on the dashboard. However, there are no requirements for mapping a general test.

An 'upgrade' provision has been improvised for candidates' admissions, wherein, if a candidate gets an upgraded seat, their seats will be accepted automatically. The candidate's application will be auto directed to the concerned college, and the candidate will have to pay only the differential fee, if any.

Additionally, a provision had been made to send 'Important Alerts' such as allocation, deadline, payments, etc, to candidates on their registered email ID. The admission timelines will be reduced to complete the process in the shortest possible duration.

DU 'List-B' subject removal
