Due to the extension of the CUET-UG schedule following exam cancellation at several centers, DU UG admission is likely to get delayed.

New Delhi: Delhi University's undergraduate courses admission process is likely to be delayed by "at least a week". This has come up as a consequence of the extension of the CUET-UG schedule following exam cancellation at several centers last week because of technical glitches. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG which was scheduled to end on August 20 will now conclude on August 28. Admission to all undergraduate courses in the university will be done through CUET.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday announced that the test, which was canceled last week, will now be conducted from August 24 to 28 and fresh admit cards will be issued.

"The admission process is expected to stretch longer by a week as CUET was rescheduled. The entire admission process will take over a month," said a senior Delhi University official.

"The admission process is now expected to be completed by September-end and classes for first-year students to begin in the first or second week of October.

"Earlier, the university was planning to start the classes by September-end," the official added.

The admission process is likely to begin later this month with the Dean of Admission Haneet Gandhi, saying the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal will be open by August third week for aspirants to fill out applications.

Admission through the CSAS will be conducted in three phases – submission of the CSAS 2022 application form, selection of programs and filling of preferences, and seat allocation and admission.
