The Delhi University has announced that it will be conducting three rounds of seat allocation for undergraduate programs in the upcoming academic year. The first allocation list is scheduled to be announced on August 1. Classes for these programs will commence from August 16. The university has already begun phase two of the undergraduate admission process, where candidates can select their preferred programs and colleges. A correction window has also been opened for candidates who have completed Phase-I and wish to make changes to certain fields.
Admission to Delhi University is being carried out through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) using the Common University Entrance Test marks. The university has launched a CSAS portal for the admission process. Phase-II of the CSAS has begun, and candidates who have completed Phase-I need to log in to their dashboard to choose their preferred programs and college combinations, provided they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
Candidates who have not yet registered on the CSAS portal still have the opportunity to do so, as the university has decided to keep both phases open until 04:59 pm on July 24. After the deadline, the preferences submitted by the candidates will get auto-locked. A simulated list will be declared after Phase-II on July 29, and candidates will be allowed to modify their preferences until July 30.
The first CSAS allocation list will be announced on August 1, and candidates will have four days until August 4 to accept the allocated list. Colleges will then verify and approve the applications by August 7, and the last date for online payment of fees for students allocated seats in the first list will be July 6. The second round of CSAS allocation and admission will begin on August 7 with the display of vacant seats after round 1.
Candidates will be given a one-day window to re-order their higher preferences, and the second CSAS allocation list will be declared on August 10. Candidates will need to accept the allocated seat by August 13, and colleges can verify their applications by August 14. The last date for online payment will be August 15, and classes are scheduled to begin on August 16.
The third round of seat allocation will begin on August 17 and will conclude on August 26. The university has also provided a correction window for candidates who have completed Phase-I and want to make changes to certain fields. However, editing or modifying certain information like name, photograph, signature, gender, registered email-id, mobile number, caste, and supernumerary quota will not be allowed.
The admission process for nearly 71,000 seats in 78 undergraduate programs for the academic year 2023-24 is being conducted through the CSAS portal. Candidates need to log in to their dashboard at the CSAS portal and proceed to "Preference Selection." They can select and add their preferences, and the available preferences tab will display all the possible program and college combinations to choose from. Candidates can use the Advanced Filter option to filter colleges and programs. The order of selection will determine the preference order, and candidates can use icons to reorder their preferences. The final order of preferences, as saved, will be reflected in the Selected Preferences tab.
Once candidates are satisfied with their preference order, they need to save changes to submit their preferences. The preferences saved by the candidates will determine their allocation and admission. The university advises candidates to choose the maximum number of preferences in which they are willing to take admission. In Phase II, candidates need to map the subjects studied in Class 12 to those in which they have appeared in CUET-2023. If the subject studied in Class XII was not a part of CUET, a similar or closely related subject will be considered. It is the sole responsibility of the candidate to provide correct subject mapping.
The university has specified that addition, deletion, and editing of programs and colleges after the Phase-II deadline will not be allowed. For admission, the university will consider the subject-based "Normalized Score" provided by the National Testing Agency for calculating the "Program-Group merit scores."
