The university authorities felt that the seat allocations should be pushed to Wednesday to avoid any confrontation, the official said. The Delhi HC had earlier directed the college to hold admissions against its unreserved seats solely on the basis of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and to do away with interviews for these seats.

DU Admissions 2022: First seat allocation list not to be released Today, Know why

Delhi University Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh has announced that the seat allocation has been pushed by a day and will now be conducted on October 19, 2022. As per the senior DU official, the decision has been taken after the Supreme Court said that it will hear a plea by St. Stephen’s College against a Delhi High Court on admissions to the college on Wednesday.

The university authorities felt that the seat allocations should be pushed to Wednesday “to avoid any confrontation”, the official said. The Delhi HC had earlier directed the college to hold admissions against its unreserved seats solely on the basis of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and to do away with interviews for these seats.

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard Stephen's plea and said that the matter deserves consideration, listing it for Wednesday. The Delhi High Court had in September said that"St Stephen’s College cannot conduct interviews for the admission of undergraduate students belonging to “non-minority category” and directed it to admit them only on the basis of CUET scores."

It must be noted that this year onwards, Delhi University has adopted CUET for admission to its undergraduate courses. The Delhi HC had also directed the college to withdraw its admission prospectus which states that interviews will be part of the admission process as per the DU’s instructions and issue a public notice declaring the amended admission procedure. While the prospectus still continues to be up on the website, the college decided to appeal against the High Court’s decision in the apex court.
