Online marks calculator

The DU admission portal has an online marks calculator that automatically calculates candidates’ percentage of ‘best of four’ subjects centrally chosen for any particular course. It may be noted that all colleges across DU consider candidates’ aggregate marks of best four subjects to calculate their percentage for the cut-offs.

Best of Four Percentage Calculation for Humanities Courses

Best of Four Percentage Calculation for Commerce Courses

Best of Four Percentage Calculation for Science Courses

Live display of vacant seats

The varsity will have a 24X7 live display of the vacant seats on candidates’ dashboard of the online admission portal.

Stream change

Till 2018, 5% from the ‘best of four’ subject aggregate marks were deducted for candidates who changed streams (for instance, a candidate having Science or Commerce stream in Class 12th opting a Humanities stream course at the time of college admissions). However, from 2019 onwards, only 2% marks will be deducted for such candidates.

Hike in DU admission cancellation fee

With an aim to avoid multiple cancellation of admissions by candidates, Delhi University has double the cancellation fee from Rs 500 to Rs 1000.   

De-linking of DU sports & ECA quota admissions

Admissions under sports and Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) quotas are likely to be de-linked from DU admission cutoff lists. This means that candidates applying under sports or ECA quota would not have to wait for the release of DU cutoffs for admissions. Their admission process will be conducted separately. The trials for sports are ECA quota candidates are likely to commence from last week of May, 2019.

Capping on the number of sub-categories of ECA/ sports

With an aim to conclude the admission process earlier, the varsity ha put a limit on the number of sub-categories that can be chosen by sports/ ECA quota candidates for trials to three. This will make the task of testing each and every candidate less time-consuming.   

Sports & ECA quota candidate strength

The varsity has put a limit on the strength of candidates securing admission under ECA and sports quota to 10% than the actual strength of every class.   

EWS reservation in DU admissions

From 2019 onwards, Delhi University has raised 10% seats for candidates belonging to Economically Weaker Section (EWS). However, the increment will take place in two phases – 10% in first year and 15% in next year.

CBSE marksheets

For the academic year, 2019-20, DU is expected to use the database of Central Board of secondary Education (CBSE) for getting the marksheets and certificates of students directly. If this happens, the number of certificates and documents that candidates have to submit at the time of filling DU application form will reduce.

DU syllabus

The varsity has modified the syllabus for all UG courses offered by it. The new educational courses will be executed from the upcoming academic session.
