Delhi University UG admissions: second phase starts next week
Delhi University (DU) will start the second phase of the admission process on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal over the coming week. The university made the announcement on Thursday, a day before the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results were announced. In the first phase, applicants have to register on the portal. In the second phase, candidates can mark their preferences for colleges and programmes on the CSAS dashboard. The first phase of the admission process, which started on June 17, is still under way, said an official, adding that the date for the commencement of the subsequent phase has not been decided yet. The university is offering 71,624 undergraduate seats in 69 colleges and departments. It has earmarked a total of 1,347 seats under the extracurricular activities (ECA) quota, which has been divided into 14 categories — creative writing (English and Hindi), debate (English and Hindi), digital media (photography, film-making, animation), divinity, fine arts (sketching, painting, sculpture), music - vocals (Indian and western), music - instrumental (Indian and western), dance (Indian classical, Indian folk, western, choreography), theatre, quiz, National Cadet Corps, National Service Scheme, and yoga. 'All prospective applicants are advised to start applying for CSAS Phase-I, if not done so far. Candidates are also advised to start preparing their list of preferred 'Programs and Colleges' in advance,' read the university notification. It advised applicants to monitor the online admission portal for updates and urged them to 'take informed decisions and avoid any mistakes while filling their choices in the CSAS Phase-II as soon as it is launched'. Last year, the admission process was delayed by nearly a month and the academic session began on August 29 due to the late declaration of the CUET results by the National Testing Agency. This year, DU has announced that it plans to start the academic session on August 1. Hence, the second phase is unlikely to last for more than a week. The process During the second phase, which begins every year after the declaration of CUET results, candidates must log in to their dashboard and map subjects by selecting those they studied or those similar to the ones they studied in Class 12. Completing this process allows candidates to view the programmes for which they are eligible. Following this, they can mark their preferred course and college combinations in order of preference on the CSAS portal. This is the most crucial step, say university officials, as the order of preference will determine their chances during the allocation of seats. Before the first round of seat allocation, DU will issue simulated ranks to help students gauge the probability of their allocation to a particular programme, giving them another chance to revise and reorder their preferences. 'Auto-upgrade' option The candidates are then allocated the best possible option based on their preferences, merit, availability of seats, and category. Once the seat is allocated, the candidate will have to accept the allocation in order to be considered for upgradation in the subsequent rounds.
