DU Merit List 2022 Live Updates: Delhi University UG first cut-off not today

The decision to postpone the release of DU UG first merit list was taken after the Supreme Court had announced to hear a plea of St Stephen's College against a Delhi High Court order which had asked it to follow the admission policy of the Delhi University on Wednesday.

The high court has asked the college to follow the DU admission policy, according to which 100 percent weightage has to be given to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-2022 score while granting admissions to non-minority students in its UG courses. St Stephen's College, however, wants to give only 85 percent weightage to CUET and 15 per cent to interviews for admitting students across categories.

The window for candidates to accept the alloted seat was scheduled to be active on October 19, however, a delay is expected in the DU UG first allotment process. Delhi University is also likely to officially announce the deferment on the official website, du.ac.in.

According to the DU academic calendar 2022-23, classes for all first-year undergraduate courses will begin on November 2, 2022. The DU practical examinations for students will begin from February 17 to 26, 2023. Followed by theory exams from February 27 to March 15.

The total number of applications for DU UG admission 2022 has declined by nearly 40 percent this year. The percentage of students from CBSE seeking UG admission at Delhi University has gone up by nearly 1.5 percent as against last year, even as applicants from other state boards including Kerala and Haryana registered a considerable dip, the PTI reported.
