The announcement was made by the Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh. The varsity took this decision with an aim to fill in the reserved seats which remain vacant throughout the year.

Delhi University Admissions 2022 for the academic session 2022-23 will be done through Common University Entrance Test (CUET). Students will be admitted to the UG courses on the basis of the CUET Score 2022. The University this year will be offering 70,000 seats in the undergraduate courses across several colleges. Until last year, the university use to release the DU cutoff list based on the Class 12 scores of the students.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) began the CUET 2022 phase 1 exam from today; i.e July 15 and will conduct it until August 20. The Second phase will begin on August 4, 2022. The CUET (UG) 2022 has been scheduled for around 14,90,000 candidates, according to the NTA.

While speaking about the DU Counselling 2022, he said, "rules and regulations have been framed for counselling. In order to fill the maximum seats in the first round itself, in UR and OBC (other backward classes) we will take 20 per cent extra admission and in the SC/ST category, 30 per cent extra admission will be done."

"With this maximum students will get their choice in the first round. This will also help in filling the reserved seats early on," he said, as reported by NDTV. While speaking about the counselling process, he said, students will have to fill in their choice by visiting the Delhi University Admission portal. In case, two students have the same CUET score choosing end up selecting the same college and course as first preference, their class 12 board marks will act as a tiebreaker for allotment of preferred seat, informed the vice-chancellor.

"In case of a tie between two students, the scores of best of three subjects will be compared. If the best three are also the same, then the best four will be compared and then the best five. "If by chance marks for the best five subjects are also same, in that case, age will act as a tie breaker. The older applicant will get the seat," he said.
