Delhi University aspirants will need to indicate their preferences for colleges and courses, based on priority, on a Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for admission this year.

Delhi University’s Academic Council Wednesday approved the admission process, which was formulated by a Standing Committee for admissions this year. Admissions will be based on results of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

The admission process will be done in three phases. In the first phase, aspirants will have to fill application form in CSAS. In the second phase, they will select course and colleges and indicate their preferences, and third phase will include seat allocation and final admission based on a merit list.

If two students are tied for a seat with the same score, class XII board exam results will be considered a tie-breaker. If students are still tied, the older candidate will be given preference. This is the first time that CUET is being held for admission in Central universities.  Earlier, admission was based only on class XII marks. DU had been contemplating admission based on entrance tests for a long time, as many colleges end up admitting more students than the number of seats since the university is obligated to admit all who meet the cut-off.
