PTI
New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) More than 80,000 candidates have accepted undergraduate seats in the first round of Delhi University's (DU) seat allocation, according to official data released by the university on Monday evening.
According to the figures from the Common Seat Allocation System-Undergraduate (CSAS-UG) portal, 80,015 candidates accepted their allocated seats as of 7 pm on July 21. Of them, 31,088 have been approved by college principals and 17,702 have completed fee payment.
This year, the university has made 93,166 allocations against 71,624 seats across 69 colleges and 79 undergraduate programmes, indicating that internal movement and reallocations are expected in the subsequent rounds.
'More than 93,000 allocations have been done based on the pattern and requirement of previous years, as many students shuffle their seats from one college to another," a senior DU official told PTI.
The CSAS-UG system, which forms the basis of these allocations, factors in CUET-UG scores, candidate preferences and reservation norms.
The allocations span various categories, including Unreserved (UR), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Sikh Minority, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), Kashmiri Migrants, Single Girl Child and Orphan candidates.
Under the Single Girl Child category, 1,325 allocations were made, while 259 orphan candidates — 127 females and 132 males — secured seats in the first round.
Candidates had until 4:59 pm on July 21 to accept their seats.
College-level verification and approval will continue until July 22, with the last date for fee payment set for July 23.
In a step towards transparency, the university has allowed candidates to view the minimum allocation scores and ranks for each programme and college.
These details are accessible through their dashboards and will also be published on the official admission website.
Meanwhile, allocations for performance-based programmes, such as Hindustani Music, Karnataka Music, Percussion Music, Physical Education and Fine Arts, will be conducted in the third round. Candidates seeking admission in these categories have been advised to check the trial schedules on the respective college or department websites.
The second round of seat allocation is scheduled to be announced at 5 pm on July 28. The academic session for first-year students will commence on August 1. PTI MHS RC

This UP Farmer's Guava-Papaya Formula Is Turning His Fields Into Gold
The Pink Taiwan guava, known for its sweet aroma and deep pink flesh, is considered superior and commands nearly double the price of regular guava in the market A farmer from Uttar Pradesh has achieved remarkable success in sustainable agriculture. Anup Rai, from Pakdi village in Ghazipur district, has set an inspiring example by blending modern techniques with organic farming. He is practising mixed cropping by growing the Pink Taiwan variety of guava alongside the Pusa Nanha variety of papaya. Recently, District Horticulture Officer Ashish Kumar visited his farm and praised his efforts. According to Kumar, Anup Rai has planted over 100 guava trees, each already yielding 5 to 6 kg of fruit within just 6 to 7 months. The fruits weigh more than 500 grams each and are of excellent quality. The Pusa Nanha papaya variety has also started bearing fruit in just four months. The Pink Taiwan guava, known for its sweet aroma and deep pink flesh, is considered superior and commands nearly double the price of regular guava in the market. It is low in seeds, larger in size, and highly sought after. A staunch advocate of chemical-free farming, Anup Rai has not used any pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Instead, he relies on natural pest control methods such as neem oil, pheromone traps, sticky traps, and light traps. This has significantly reduced input costs and improved fruit quality. His farm remains largely free from pests, even during the monsoon, when fruit borer attacks are common. Currently, Pink Taiwan guava fetches Rs 60 to Rs 100 per kg in the market, whereas regular guava sells for just Rs 20 to Rs 30 per kg. Its demand is particularly high in urban fruit markets, hotels, and among organic fruit vendors. District Horticulture Officer Ashish Kumar has urged other farmers to adopt Anup Rai's low-cost, high-return model to improve profitability while promoting sustainable practices. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
