Delhi University Colleges Address Seat Vacancies with Separate Admissions Amid CUET Challenges
Delhi University faces significant undergraduate seat vacancies, notably at Bhagini Nivedita College and Aditi Mahavidyalaya, partly due to the centralized Common University Entrance Test (CUET) system. These colleges, located on Delhi's outskirts, have resorted to separate admissions based on Class 12 board results to fill seats. Factors such as reservation policies, student preferences, and geographic challenges contribute to the issue, highlighting gaps in the university's admission process for colleges serving rural and semi-urban areas.
