DU UG Admissions 2022 likely to be delayed by a week; says officials

DU Admissions 2022: Delhi University's undergraduate courses admissions are likely to be delayed by at least a week due to the postponement of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG exam following cancellation at several centers last week due to technical glitches. The CUET UG 2022 was scheduled to be held from August 4 to August 20, however, now it will conclude on August 28. 

It must be noted that from this academic year onwards, admission to all undergraduate courses at Delhi University will be done based on CUET 2022 UG score.  The National Testing Agency (NTA) recently announced that the test, which was cancelled last week, will now be conducted from August 24 to 28 and fresh admit cards will be issued.

"The admission process is expected to stretch longer by a week as CUET was rescheduled. The entire admission process will take over a month. The admission process is now expected to be completed by September-end and classes for first-year students to begin in the first or second week of October. Earlier, the university was planning to start the classes by September-end," a senior University official said.

Meanwhile, the Dean of Admission Haneet Gandhi, said that "the admission is likely to begin later by this month and the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal will be open by August third week for aspirants to fill out applications. Admission through the CSAS will be conducted in three phases – submission of the CSAS 2022 application form, selection of programmes and filling of preferences, and seat allocation and admission. It is the second phase where the score of CUET is required."

The second phase of the admission process will only begin after the declaration of the CUET (UG) 2022 results. Candidates will have to select the courses in which they wish to take admission. They will have to confirm the programme-specific CUET (UG) merit score for all the selected courses.

In the third phase, seats will be allocated only through a merit list. It must be noted that this is for the first time that admission at Delhi University will be conducted through an entrance test.
