Delhi University Admissions 2016: More cutoffs to be released
Important dates for UG admissions at DU
With seats for UG admissions at Delhi University still vacant, the varsity has decided to issue three more cutoff lists. DU is scheduled to release the sixth cutoff list on August 20, 2016 (tomorrow) at 9:00 AM. All candidates who are registered online with DU’s UG admission portal are eligible to apply for the vacant seats.
Earlier the university had announced that it will release only five DU cutoff lists. However, considering 7,000 seats which are still vacant at different DU colleges, the varsity has decided to release more cutoff lists. Delhi University had released the fifth cutoff list on July 20, 2016.
It has been about 110 days and DU admissions 2016 for UG courses are not over yet. According to a university official, candidate’s data process was changed to online mode this academic year which lead to confusion in admissions.
Till today, there are many DU seats vacant in popular UG courses such as English, Physics, Chemistry, Political Science, History, and Mathematics.

DU Admission Process after the Fifth Cutoff List
After the fifth cutoff list for DU admissions 2016, if there were vacant seats in college, it needed to be notified on the DU website, college website, and the college notice board. Only those candidates who had registered earlier for UG admissions at DU were eligible to apply for the vacant seats.
The college had to prepare a merit list of all the candidates whose applications were received. The admission of candidates whose names appeared in the merit list prepared for each course needed to be done within next two days on cutoff basis against the vacant seats.
The colleges could release three such cutoff lists for admissions 2016 according to the schedule announced by Delhi University. After three cutoffs, if seats still remain vacant, colleges could again invite online applications on the DU website.
