Delhi University to release 2nd round of UG seat allocation today
The upcoming list is expected to reflect significant internal reshuffling as more than 43,000 candidates have opted for upgrading their seats after the first round of admissions.
According to DU officials, the second list will incorporate these preferences alongside new seat vacancies, paving the way for thousands of students to switch colleges or programmes based on merit and availability.
The DU had earlier made 93,166 seat allocations against 71,624 undergraduate seats across 69 colleges and 79 programmes. As of now, 62,565 candidates have confirmed their admission.
While 16,126 candidates have chosen to freeze their seats, a large majority –? 43,741 — have opted for upgrades. These students are now waiting for the second round, hoping for movement to their preferred colleges or programmes.
The upgrade and reordering window for the current round will remain open till 4:59 pm on July 25. Candidates can also check the latest list of vacant seats on DU's admission portal.
The CSAS-UG process uses CUET-UG scores along with college and programme preferences, category reservations and other eligibility criteria for allocations. Seats have been allotted across multiple categories, including Unreserved, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PwBD, Kashmiri Migrants, Sikh Minority, Single Girl Child and Orphan.
Meanwhile, performance-based courses, such as Hindustani Music, Karnataka Music, Percussion Music, Physical Education and Fine Arts, will see allocations in the third round. Candidates for these programmes are advised to follow college-specific websites for the trial schedules.
The academic session for first-year students is scheduled to commence on August 1.
Meanwhile, with the new academic year at Delhi University set to begin on August 1, faculty members have voiced concerns alleging unresolved syllabus issues related to some postgraduate courses and the newly introduced fourth-year undergraduate programme (FYUP). There was no immediate response available from the varsity over the allegations.
This will be the first batch of students to enter the fourth year under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), a component of the National Education Policy (NEP).
However, teachers claim they are still awaiting clarity on the final syllabus, despite the proposals being approved in Executive Council meetings held on May 23 and July 12.

Page sequencing error: SC directs manual evaluation of NEET-UG aspirant's answer script
New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the manual evaluation of the answer script of a NEET-UG 2025 aspirant, who alleged erroneous page sequencing in his question paper. Page sequencing error: SC directs manual evaluation of NEET-UG aspirant's answer script A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and K V Viswanathan ordered the result of evaluation to be placed on record. "He will have the satisfaction of getting his papers manually checked," the bench said. The aspirant said claimed wrong sequencing of pages in the NEET-UG question paper. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate examination is conducted by the National Testing Agency for admissions to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country. Additional Solicitor General Archana Pathak Dave, appearing for the respondents, put of a copy of the question paper on record to explain that the mistake arose due to incorrect stapling. "However, in order to satisfy ourselves, we direct that the petitioner's paper shall be evaluated manually and the result of the evaluation be placed on the record. The said exercise shall be carried out within a period of one week," the bench said. Dave said stapling of question paper was a manual exercise. "The least that could be done is to give the questions in seriatim," the bench said. It added, "Look at the panic of the candidate. It is not an ordinary exam." The law officer said only semi-skilled or semi-literate people were employed for the stapling work. "If we give it to a literate person and if he staples it, we know for sure that one or two questions he can memorise and they can go out," she said, calling it a "rarest of rare" instance. The bench, however, remarked that "17-18 year old" students were dying by suicide. "Please don't try to justify," the top court said and posted the hearing for August 12.

Rekha Gupta inaugurates new Delhi University academic block in Maurice Nagar, announces return of U-Special buses
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inaugurated the new academic block of the Delhi University (DU) Social Centre School in Maurice Nagar. The new four-storey building, completed in 21 months at a cost of over Rs 27 crore, has 21 classrooms and laboratories. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony held at DU's Vice Regal Lodge, the CM noted that while progress has been made in education, much more remains to be done. She proposed that each DU college be linked to two or three government schools, with university students visiting regularly to mentor and motivate schoolchildren. Gupta said that the goal should be to make government schools the first choice for parents. 'Government schools should become the priority, and private schools should be the second,' she said. 'If children still have to struggle for admissions from primary to post-graduation, then the system needs to improve.' She also announced the return of the U-Special buses. This bus service, tailored for DU students, was once a popular transport option for students of the varsity. Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood, the guest of honour at the event, stressed that the new academic block represented future citizens of a 'Viksit Bharat,' not just bricks and stones, Sood said. He said the government's key aim was to democratise education. The Education Minister also highlighted the new Bill introduced by the Delhi government that grants parents a say in deciding school fee hikes. The Delhi Legislative Assembly on Tuesday passed the bill to regulate private school fee hikes. Sood added that the government would work to equip all government schools with smart classrooms and AI-enabled labs. He urged DU colleges to join the 'Kude se Azadi' cleanliness campaign by identifying one spot near their campuses to transform, and suggested aiming for a world record on August 31 for the largest clean-up drive. DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh, who presided over the event, said the university was proud to have several alumni in leadership positions. On the new building, he said it was constructed on a 16,754 sq. m plot and has a total built-up area of over 3,700 sq m. Singh also stressed the need to build national character and urged students to be 'givers, not takers.' The ceremony was also attended by Ghonda MLA Ajay Mahawar, Timarpur MLA Surya Prakash Khatri, DU South Campus Director Prof. Rajni Abbi, Registrar Dr. Vikas Gupta, and school Vice Principal Dr. Garima Bharti.

Rekha Gupta Relaunches Special Bus For Delhi University Students
New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday announced the relaunch of the youth special bus service around the Delhi University campus to provide a student-friendly transport option. Addressing students on the occasion of the inauguration of the new academy block at Delhi University's Social Centre School, the chief minister said when she was a student, there used to be a youth special bus for university students. "The Delhi government is once again starting the youth special, which will be on DU's route with a little bit of music playing in the bus. This is my gift to students today," Ms Gupta said. To promote mentorship and community learning, she proposed that Delhi colleges adopt government schools. "Why don't our colleges adopt two-three schools each where college students can go weekly and teach and motivate the school students?" she said, directing Education Minister Ashish Sood to prepare a blueprint for the initiative. Recalling his student days, Mr Sood said, "Coming to Delhi University is a very nostalgic moment for me as I have spent so many years on this campus. Whenever I see a new educational building, I don't see the bricks and materials, but I see doctors, engineers and patriots emerging from it." The Delhi government's priority is the democratisation of education across the city, ensuring access and equality in learning, he said. DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh also addressed the gathering and encouraged students to develop a solution-oriented mindset. "I want to tell students that you should be problem solvers, not someone who complains," he said. On the new academy block, Mr Singh said, "This building was built in 21 months at a cost of Rs 21 crore." Calling for a more value-driven approach to learning, he said, "We need an ecosystem in our education system where students become more country-centric, not self-centric, which has been missing for the last 75 years."
