Admission process at DU:

While many universities are yet to decide on their admission process DU launched the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal on 12 September and has laid down detailed guidelines for admissions in 79 UG programs at the 67 colleges linked to the central university. The admissions will be conducted in three phases and the classes are most likely to start by 1 November.

Admission Process:

1) In the first phase, students will have to pay a non-refundable one-time application fee. The fees will be ₹100 for SC, ST and PWBD category applicants and ₹250 for UR, OBC-NCL, EWS categories. 

2) Applicants would then be required to fill out all the relevant details including email id and class 12th scores. The details submitted during the CUET process such as name, photograph and signature, etc. will automatically be linked in the CSAS portal. Particular caution must be paid while filling out the class 12th marks since it would be the deciding factor in case of the same merit score. 

3) In the second phase, select their program and college combination and fill in their preference.The college combination will also determine the order of preference for allotment of seats. Finally, the candidates have to confirm the order of preference for each program and college by clicking on the ‘submit’ button on or before the last day of preference filing day. 

4) In the third phase, a particular seat will be allotted to the candidate and they will be given a specified last date/time to ‘accept’ the seat. Once they decline the seat candidates would no longer be able to participate in the subsequent rounds of CSAS-2022.

5) Once submitted the candidate will have to pay their admission fees to secure their provisional admission to their selected college.

6) Colleges will accept or reject the provisionally allotted seat to the candidates upon verification. Candidates can also opt for an ‘upgrade’ and will be considered in the subsequent allotment rounds based on the availability of seats.
