In 2nd round of DU's UG admission process under CSAS, over 87,000 seats allocated
In the second round of admissions for undergraduate programmes for the 2025–26 academic session, Delhi University on Monday announced a total of 87,335 seat allocations, encompassing new admissions, upgrades, and candidates opting to freeze their current allocations. With the academic session set to begin August 1, the clock is ticking for the admission process. Of these, 24,843 were fresh allocations, while 27,314 students secured higher‑choice upgrades, and 17,922 opted to freeze their allotted seats, halting further changes. This follows the first round under DU's Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), which in the previous academic years, typically hovered around 65,000–71,000 confirmed seats. The system usually allocates extra seats to accommodate anticipated withdrawals and vacancies. For instance, in 2024 the university confirmed 65,775 admissions in the first round, with 43,067 candidates seeking upgrades and 20,829 freezing their seats. The allocations in the first round this year were made against approximately 71,600 sanctioned seats across 79 UG programmes and 69 colleges. Applicants who accepted their Round 1 allocations—typically via the CSAS portal —could choose to 'upgrade' to a preferred course‑college combination, or 'freeze' their seat and forgo further upward movement in subsequent rounds This year, in the first round, the university confirmed 62,565 admissions where 34,014 female students were admitted as opposed to 28,551 male candidates. Round 1 also saw high upgrade interest. In 2024, 43,067 applicants opted to upgrade, while 20,829 froze their allocation The completion of Round 2 sets the stage for a third round of allocations—often reserved for spot admissions, performance‑based seats (e.g., sports, cultural, ward‑quota) and quotas like Single Girl Child, Orphan students.

‘No admission roadblock after SC's OBC order'
1 2 Kolkata: The Supreme Court order on Monday regarding the OBC reservation issue removes all roadblocks from publishing the CAP (centralised admission portal) merit list after July 30, senior Bengal officials said on Monday. The legal team advising the education department on this matter clearly stated that there was no legal roadblock to proceed with the UG admissions as per the 2025 OBC list. According to the updated 2025 OBC list, 76 communities have been additionally classified as OBC A and B categories. Earlier, the 2010 OBC list had 64 OBC communities. This has also increased the OBC reservations from 7% before 2010 to 17% in 2025. The continued legal ambiguity over the process prompted the education dept to revise its CAP admission deadline three times. The first deadline was July 1, the second was July 15, and the third was July 25. Now it has been extended till July 30. The ambiguity has not only held back CAP but also the crucial WBJEE results. Presidency University admissions were also delayed due to this. Merit list publication was pending for undergraduate college admission due to this issue. The deadline for receiving applications for UG courses was extended till July 30. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo State education minister Bratya Basu posted on X handle, saying, "Today's stay in the Hon'ble Supreme Court is a moral victory of our Hon'ble Chief Minister Smt Mamata Banerjee. We in the higher education department already anticipated this and are fully prepared to take appropriate actions immediately. " You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata After this order, department officials are relieved that no further extension is required as the Supreme Court gave a clear order on Monday. A higher official said, "We are waiting for the order copy after which the final process will be initiated." The department will soon upload a link for the students to submit their category details and update choices. According to Debanjan Mandal, managing partner, Fox & Mandal, which is advising the Bengal govt, around nine lakh UG admissions were impacted. "The shadow of uncertainty over the undergraduate admissions has been lifted by the apex court order. The order will now ease the process," he told TOI. The admission limbo was primarily for students from the additional 76 OBC communities. An earlier Calcutta High Court order allowed the 64 pre-2010 OBC groups to apply. The issue posed no difficulty to them. Applicants belonging to the additional 76 groups could not avail themselves of their OBC reservation quota. "Reservation is not a charity; it is a constitutional mandate. And it is settled in law — also reiterated by the apex court today — that the executive is well within its right to make this decision," Mandal added. Retired Justice Ashim Kumar Banerjee, who also heads the state backward classes commission — the body which recommended the fresh OBC list to the Bengal govt — told TOI, "I have not seen the SC order. But from what I have heard, there remains no hurdles to implement the 2025 OBC list in Bengal. I am absolutely sure about that. Moreover, it was not the OBC list which was under challenge in Calcutta High Court, it was the manner it was being implemented. I have no two views on it, the fresh OBC list can be implemented now."

CET cell sets up student help centre in every district
1 2 3 Pune: The State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell has set up a student help centre in each of the 36 districts in the state. The centre, one in a college in every district, is expected to provide students and parents with information and guidance regarding the admission process for various professional courses in the state as well as resolve any issues encountered during the same. Both parents and teachers have praised this initiative, emphasising that help centres are vital for clarifying doubts and offering guidance during the crucial admission period. Explaining the importance of such centres, Rajini Nair, a parent whose son is awaiting admission to undergraduate engineering courses, said, "The brochure for all courses is uploaded online but still doubts remain. And since admission to a UG college has a huge role to play when it comes to the overall development of the child, it is crucial that nothing goes wrong when applying under the centralised admission process. While there are helpline numbers, they are not always reachable. But if there is a person whom I can speak to, it makes a huge difference as I can get my doubts cleared in one go."
