NEW DELHI: The admissions for Delhi University in the special cutoff category will begin from Tuesday. The university postponed the admission dates from November 18 after several Covid-19 cases were reported from the DU administration office.

"Only those applicants will be considered who could not and did not take admission in the initial five cutoffs for whatever reasons. Applicants who had cancelled their admission in the fifth cut off will not be eligible to participate in the special cutoff and those who are already admitted in any course or college in the university will not be eligible. Applicants can apply to a single course and college and they must ensure that they have carefully checked the number of seats vacant in the course and the college they are applying for," the notice clarified.
