Delhi University Allows Merit-Based Admissions at Two Women's Colleges to Fill Vacant Seats
Delhi University has granted special permission to two women's colleges, Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Bhagini Nivedita College, to conduct merit-based, in-person undergraduate admissions for the 2026-27 session. This exception aims to fill seats left vacant despite multiple rounds of CUET-based admissions. Both colleges proposed combining CUET scores with Class 12 marks to improve enrolment, citing challenges like location and limited recreational facilities. The university's approval allows admissions through both CUET and merit-based selection, subject to seat availability.
