Delhi University Opens Merit-Based Admissions for Vacant UG Seats Alongside CUET
Delhi University (DU) is offering undergraduate admissions based on Class 12 marks in select colleges and programmes where seats remain vacant after CUET-based rounds. This merit-based admission applies to 11 to 15 affiliated colleges, including Kalindi College, Zakir Husain Delhi College, and Aditi Mahavidyalaya. Eligible students can apply directly to these colleges, which will fill seats according to merit and eligibility criteria. CUET remains the primary admission route, and this measure aims to utilize vacant seats without replacing the entrance test system.
