Delhi University has completed two rounds of admissions, and first-year classes have commenced. However, the admission process is far from over. The university is preparing to launch further admission rounds, including those for Performance-Based Programmes and various supernumerary seats such as the Children/Widows (CW) of Armed Forces, Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA), Sports, and Ward categories. These additional rounds are scheduled to begin on September 3, 2024.
The university has also released a detailed schedule for the upcoming rounds of allocations and admissions. The upgrade window for the next round will open at 5:00 pm on August 31, 2024, and close at 4:59 pm on September 1, 2024. The upgraded allocation results, along with the first round of allocations for Performance-Based Programs, CW, ECA, Sports, and Ward Quota, will be announced by 5:00 pm on September 3, 2024.
Candidates who receive an allocation must accept their seats by 4:59 pm on September 4, 2024. Following seat acceptance, colleges will verify and approve the online applications, with the final deadline for fee payment set for September 5, 2024.
For students who missed out on the earlier phases or did not participate in the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for Undergraduate Programmes in 2024, a mid-entry window will be available from 5:00 pm on September 7, 2024, to 4:59 pm on September 9, 2024. During this period, candidates can secure their entry by paying a non-refundable fee of Rs 1,000. Additionally, those who were previously rejected due to incorrect subject mapping or eligibility issues will have the opportunity to amend their preferences.
The third round of allocations is set to commence at 5:00 pm on September 9, 2024. Candidates are encouraged to review the vacant seat matrix and update their preferences accordingly. It is important to note that the cutoffs and ranks in this round may differ significantly from previous ones, reflecting the dynamic nature of the admission process.
