New Delhi: Delhi University will conduct three rounds of seat allocation for undergraduate courses in the next academic year, with the first round of allocation list to be announced on August 1, officials said on Monday.
Classes for these programs will begin on Aug. 16, they said.
The university started the second phase of the undergraduate admissions process on Monday, in which candidates will choose their preferred programs and faculties. It also opens a correction window for candidates who have completed the first stage and wish to edit and modify certain fields.
The University of Delhi is taking admission through the Common Seat Assignment System (CSAS(UG)-2023) using Common University Entrance Examination results. The Common Seat Assignment System Portal was launched in June.
“…the university announces the launch of the second phase of the public seat allocation system from Monday,” the university said in a four-page notice.
The national testing agency last week released the results of the CUET examinations conducted in May and June.
“At this stage, candidates who have completed stage one will have to log into their dashboard to select their preferred course and university combination, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria,” the notice said.
Candidates who are not yet registered on the CSAS Portal can also do so as the University has decided to keep both stages open until 24th July at 04:59pm.
“Phase 1 and Phase 2 will close at 04:59 pm on July 24, and candidates’ saved and submitted preferences will be automatically locked by the 05:00 pm deadline on July 27,” the notice reads.
After the second phase, the mock list will be announced on July 29, after which candidates will be given until July 30 to revise their preferences, it said.
The first CSAS allotment list will be posted on August 1, and candidates will have four days until August 4 to receive an allotment list.
Faculties will have until Aug. 7 to verify and approve applications, with the last date to pay fees online for students assigned in the first list is July 6, the university said.
Thereafter, a second round of CSAS assignments and admissions will begin at 5:00 p.m. on August 7, with vacancies shown after the first round.
Students will have one day to reorder higher preference. The second CSAS allocation list will be announced on August 10. Candidates will have until August 13 to accept their allocated seat and the College has until August 14 to validate their application.
Last date to pay online is August 15th. Classes will begin on August 16th.
According to the notice, the third round will start on the 17th and end on August 26th.
The university has also opened a correction window for candidates who have completed Phase 1 and wish to edit and amend certain fields.
“This is a one-time tool for candidates to update their profile. OBC(NCL), EWS, SC, ST, Minorities, PwBD, Candidates who wish to re-upload updated documents/credentials can do so in the correction window,” the notice wrote in.
However, it added that candidates are not allowed to edit or amend their name, photo or signature, gender, registered email address, mobile number, caste and additional quota.
Candidates are also not able to apply for ECA and sports supernumerary quotas during this period.
The admission process for nearly 71,000 seats in 78 undergraduate programs for the 2023-24 academic year is taking place through the CSAS portal.
After logging into the Dashboard in the CSAS Portal, candidates will go to Preferences.
Candidates will be able to select and add their preferences. The University said the “Available Preferences” tab will display all possible “course + college” combinations that candidates can choose from.
Additionally, candidates can filter by Faculty and Programs using the ‘Advanced Filter’ option at the top.
The notice states that candidates must select and add preferences based on their choice.
It added that the order of selection will also determine the order of preference. Candidates can use the “Top, Bottom, and Preference Number” icons to reorder their preferences.
The final order of filled and saved preferences will be reflected in the Selected Preferences tab.
“Once satisfied with the order of preferences, the candidate must ‘Save Changes’ to submit his/her preferences,” the notice reads.
The university notes that a candidate’s saved preferences will determine a candidate’s allocation and admission, and recommends that a candidate choose the maximum number of preferences he or she is willing to admit.
In the second stage, candidates have to correspond the subjects they studied in Class 12 with the subjects they appeared in CUET-2023.
“If Class XII is studying subjects that are not part of CUET, subjects that are similar or close to those studied in Class XII will be considered. Candidates will be solely responsible for providing the correct subject mapping,” the notification said.
The school stated that after the deadline for the second phase, additions, deletions, and changes to majors and colleges are not allowed.
For admissions, it said it would consider subject-based “normalized scores” provided by NTA to calculate “programme group merit scores”.
