Delhi University Allows Two Women's Colleges Merit-Based Admissions to Fill Vacant Seats
Delhi University has granted special permission to two women's colleges, Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Bhagini Nivedita College, to admit undergraduate students through merit-based, in-person admissions for the 2026-27 session. This exception aims to fill seats left vacant despite multiple rounds of admissions via the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). The colleges cited their locations and limited applicant pools as reasons for persistent vacancies. Merit-based admissions will consider Class 12 marks and are subject to seat availability and university approval, while CUET remains the primary admission mode.
