DU Admission: Seats Allocated to Over 97000 Students in First Round

Delhi University (DU) has successfully allotted 97,387 seats in the first round of undergraduate admissions, with 52,838 seats going to girl students and 44,549 to male students.

The university has also decided to admit additional candidates in this round to ensure that seats do not remain vacant, even if some students opt for different colleges or courses later. A total of 10,096 seats have been allocated for the B.Com Honors program. The admission branch of the university had earlier appealed to students to fill as many college-course choices as possible.

This year 2,45,287 students had registered through the DU Under Graduate portal. Out of these, only 1,85,543 lakh students had filled in their preferred course-college combinations. Admission will be offered for about 71,000 seats across 79 UG programs and 198 BA program combinations of 68 colleges or institutes or centers in the university. About 1559 subject-college combinations have been created. The university has released 5,68,20,017 unique cutoffs and ranks. Meanwhile, 243 orphan students and 1339 single girl children have also been offered admission.

This year Delhi University has introduced a new feature on its website. Under this, students can check the cutoff and rank in their dashboard in which they have been allotted a seat. Every student's dashboard is different. Everyone can see the details according to their category and quota. Even if more than one student has the same CUET score for the same program, their rank can be different. This rank will be decided according to the order of course-college preference.

Who will get the seat if two students score the same mark?

The Delhi University has introduced a tie breaker formula for students having the same CUET score. The Class 12 board results will be considered and students will be allocated seats based on Best 3, Best 4 or Best 5 subject scores, preference to older candidates, or names in alphabetical order.
