Delhi University admission process 2015 is on in full swing. The first cut-off 2015 for admissions into different programmes on offer at DU colleges was released on June 24, 2015. This year Delhi University (DU) colleges have been asked to keep a single cut-off for all the streams.

Next, DU released the second cut-off for admissions. The percentage points for admissions through the second cut-off saw a dip of up to 4%.

So, as the trend has been in previous years, most students take admission in any college and course wherein they are getting admission in the first two-three cut-offs released by DU. Further, when they secure admissions in the course/college of their choice, they withdraw admissions and head out to seek admissions at their preferred college/course.

However, students need to note that the entire amount paid by them as part of admission fee will not be refunded. Also, an official notification released by DU states: “In all cases, security deposits/caution money (if any) shall be refunded after obtaining clearance from relevant quarters, provided he/she (candidate) applies for refund of the same within a period of one year from the date of leaving the institution”.

The refund candidates can expect to receive for admission fee paid by them for DU’s regular colleges, departments, non-collegiate women’s education board and School of Open Learning are as follows:

Reason for Refund	Quantum fee to be refunded
When candidate applied for fee withdrawal till July 31, 2015	Full fee refunded after deducting Rs 500. Also, full examination fee will be refunded.
When candidate applies for withdrawal of admission on or after August 1, 2015, till three working days before the last date of admission (including the last day of admissions).	Full fee refunded after deduction of Rs 1,000. Also, full examination fee will be refunded.
When candidate applies for withdrawal of admission after three days of the last date of admission.	No fee will be refunded expect the examination fee.
When admission is made inadvertently due to error/omission/commission on part of the University/College.	Full fee and full examination fee will be refunded.
When cancellation of admission is due to concealment, falsification of facts, submission of false/fake certificate(s), providing misleading information by the candidate or for any error/mistake on part of the candidate.	No fee will be refunded.
In case of migration of candidate in Semester-III from one college to another (if permissible under the University rules). However, this migration must be applied for till August 31, 2015.	Fee will be refunded after deduction of 20% of the total fee. Also, full examination fee will be refunded.

If a candidate is provisionally admitted to a course on declaration of the result of his qualifying examination/compartmental examination becomes ineligible for admission and his/her admission is cancelled.	Full fee is refunded after deduction of Rs 1,000 provided that he/she applies for refund in the same Financial Year.
In case a candidate’s admission expires within one month of the last date of admission.	Full fee including examination fee will be refunded to his/her parents.
In case an MPhil or PhD student applies for withdrawal of admission within seven days of the date of admission.	Fee will be refunded after deduction of Rs 500 from the total.
If an MPhil or PhD student pursuing a course discontinues his/her studies or withdraws his/her admission after seven days of the date of admission.	50% of his/her total fee will be refunded.
In case admission in PhD course is offered at a later date and the candidate withdraws his/her admission within a month.	50% of his/her total fee will be refunded.
When a candidate has been allowed to change the course of study in the same college or within the departments of the University.	After adjustment of the fee already paid the candidate will be required to pay the remaining amount due as prescribed for the new course. In case the candidate has paid more amount in the previous course than the amount is due for the second course then in such a scenario the excess amount will be refunded/adjusted towards further months/fee.

The admission process at School of Open Learning (SOL) got delayed by about three weeks. However, now admissions in BA Programme, BA English (Honours), BCom (Honours), BCom and BA Political Science (Honours) programmes have commenced at SOL.

However, candidates who want to withdraw admissions at SOL can apply for refund of fee if they so desire. The refund candidates can expect to receive for admission fee paid by them at DU’s School of Open Learning is as follows:

Reason for Refund	Quantum fee to be refunded
When a candidate applies for withdrawal of admission within 15 days of the date of his/her admission.	Full fee will be refunded after deduction of Rs 500. Also, full examination fee will be refunded.
