The Delhi University announced on Tuesday the introduction of a single girl child quota across all its programmes starting from the academic session 2024-2025, as the university began its admission process for undergraduate courses. Officials launched the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for undergraduate admissions in 69 colleges and departments, offering a total of 71,000 seats.
The university introduced a reservation for single girl children in all programmes as part of the supernumerary seats, according to DU registrar Vikas Gupta. The admissions will occur in two phases, with the first phase involving registration at the CSAS portal and the second phase focusing on seat allotment.
The CSAS website is now open for student registration and will remain so for about a month, stated dean of admissions Haneet Gandhi. The second phase of DU admissions will commence after the declaration of the CUET UG results. Admissions for the School of Open Learning (SOL) and Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB) will begin next month, with the portal for registration opening on June 3.
SOL director Payal Mago stated that admissions into Bachelor’s programmes in SOL and NCWEB will be based on class 12th marks. However, some PG courses in SOL will also consider CUET scores. NCWEB will offer 12 combinations of BA programme and B.Com Pass across its 26 affiliated colleges.
For DU’s postgraduate, B.Tech, and 5-year integrated law programme, the registration process is ongoing, with the tentative date for announcing the first list of allocations set for June 20. Over 25.99 lakh candidates applied for various programmes of DU in CUET UG this year, with 7.63 lakh unique candidates. The most sought-after courses included B.Tech, B.Com Hons, B.Com, and English Hons.
