The varsity processed 5,68,20,017 unique cutoffs and ranks for the allocations for round 1 for admissions to 71,600 sanctioned seats across 69 colleges, departments, and centers. This year, DU received 1,72,18,187 preferences and choices submitted by students seeking admission to various UG programmes across the different colleges.

In the first round, 52,838 girls and 44,549 boys have been allotted seats. The university has also allocated seats to 243 orphan students and 1,339 students under the single-girl child category, officials said.

Shortlisted candidates have until 4:59 pm on Sunday to accept their allocation. They have to submit fees by 4:59 pm on August 21, as per officials. Only those who complete the payment will be eligible for an “upgrade” in subsequent rounds.

The university has implemented a new strategy to avoid vacant seats by accepting 50% more applications this year.
