Delhi University is likely to release the cut-offs for admission to undergraduate courses on October 1 and start the admission process for around 70,000 UG seats in around 65 colleges on October 4.
The Delhi University pushed the admission schedule by a month to accommodate students currently appearing for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) improvement examinations.
When asked about the admission dates, the dean of admissions, Pinki Sharma, said that they are yet to confirm the dates. But the cut-off list can be expected to be out in the first week of October 2021.
There are several factors behind the decision, including CBSE improvement examination, multiple entrance examinations, and DU entrance test (DUET) which will conclude on October 1. She added that students often shift to other courses once their entrance results are out so the admission authorities have planned to start admission by October 4.
As per the data shared by senior university officials, DU has received around 318,158 registrations so far with 147,435 students having completed their payment process as well. Out of these, 82,155 are female and 65,507 are male candidates.
More than 20,000 applications from Delhi-NCR area have been received. Over 121,000 candidates who have applied are from CBSE-affiliated schools. The university has received nearly 137,084 registrations for its postgraduate courses.
Chairperson, admissions, Rajeev Gupta said that there is no plan to extend the registration deadline which is scheduled to be concluded on August 31. Students can select the ‘results not declared’ category and subsequently update their results later. He added that the CBSE had requested to consider students who were given the option to appear for physical exams if they were not satisfied with their scores.

Owing to the pandemic covid-19, the final board exams were cancelled and the class 12th CBSE results were prepared based on the class 10, 11, and 12 internal scores of students in a ratio of 30:30:40. Furthermore, the students who were not satisfied by their results declared in July were given the option of appearing for their paper later. The board is currently conducting examinations for such students along with those who need to appear for their compartment papers till September 15, 2021.
Delhi University provides admissions to all the undergraduate courses – barring 15- based on the merit and scores obtained in the previous qualifying examination. However, Admission to postgraduate, MPhil-PhD courses, and the 15 undergraduate courses that include journalism, finance, and music, are conducted through DUET conducted by the National Testing Agency. Therefore, this year, the exams have been scheduled to be conducted between September 26 and October 1.

As the Delhi University does not follow a first-come-first-serve basis for UG admissions, colleges are supposed to give admission to all applicants who satisfy the requisite cut-off criteria. With around 80% of DU applicants graduating from CBSE-affiliated schools, the cut-offs this year are expected to remain on the higher side. Almost 220,000 students scored 90% and above marks in CBSE Class 12 this year, with around 70,000 of them scoring 95% or more.
