In the second round, DU will do extra allocations to fill the seats optimally so that academic session may start on August 29, a university statement said.

All candidates who were rejected in Round-I due to invalid certificate or document have been reconsidered in the UR category as per their merit and preference, subject to the availability of seats in the second round.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) this year has released the raw scores instead of the normalised scores for CUET UG.  To resolve the tie between the candidates with same merit scores for programme and college combination, the Delhi University will apply a tie-breaking policy in this order –

1. The candidate who has a higher percentage of aggregated marks in his top three subjects of Class 12 will be given preference.
