DU to allow candidates fill in preferences for courses, colleges
The academic session is scheduled to commence on August 1. Offering 79 undergraduate courses across 69 colleges, Delhi University has made available 71,624 seats this year. An advisory issued by the university said, 'The University of Delhi will open Phase II of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) in the coming week.' Its duration could be limited to a week, the university said and advised students to stay updated through the official admission portal -- https://admission.uod.ac.in.
The university has introduced greater flexibility in subject combinations. Many courses now allow either one language and three subjects or two languages and two subjects, and whichever combination yields the best CUET score will be considered. The previous rule requiring at least 30 per cent in the CUET language paper for BSc (Hons) has been removed. A new auto-accept feature has been added this year to ensure that students do not miss out on their allotted seats due to delays in acceptance.
According to the university, the CUET system has helped attract more students from small towns and diverse school boards, adding to the inclusivity of the university's student body. The CUET-UG, which is a gateway to undergraduate admissions in the country, saw a record 13.5 lakh applications this year. The maximum candidates appeared for English (8.14 lakhs), followed by Chemistry (5.70 lakh) and General Test (6.59 lakh). PTI

DU announces start of second phase of UG admission process
The University of Delhi (DU) on Saturday announced the commencement of its second phase of undergraduate admission process under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) 2025. Beginning July 8, students who have cleared the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) will be able to fill in their programme and college preferences on the university's admissions portal. In a detailed schedule released by the Registrar's office (see box), the university clarified that the preference-filling window will remain open till 11.59 pm on July 14. Preferences will be auto-locked if not submitted by the deadline. Importantly, both Phase I (registration) and Phase II (preference-filling) of CSAS will remain open simultaneously until July 14. This means candidates who haven't registered earlier still have the opportunity to enter the admission cycle. 'Due care must be exercised while ordering the preferences,' the advisory stated. The university has also introduced a correction window, available from July 6 to 11 for those who have already registered under Phase I and wish to make final edits to their forms. However, this is a one-time facility – candidates can only open the form once, make all desired changes in a single sitting, and must submit immediately. 'The form once submitted will not re-open,' the university cautioned. In a move aimed at student convenience, DU has introduced an auto-accept feature. This ensures that if a student fails to manually accept a seat within the stipulated time, the system will automatically accept it on their behalf, reducing the chances of losing an allotted seat due to technical delays or oversight. This year, 71,624 undergraduate seats are on offer across 79 programmes in 69 DU colleges. To widen access and enhance flexibility, DU has also modified subject combination rules. Now, candidates can qualify either with one language and three subjects or with two languages and two subjects – whichever yields the best CUET score will be considered. Additionally, the 30% minimum requirement in the CUET language paper for admission to BSc (Honours) programmes has been removed.
