Admissions to DU this year 
On October 18, the University will release the first Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) allocation list. This year, the university is admitting students based on their Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results rather than their Class XII grades. The university issued its admission-cum-allocation policy CSAS on September 12 this year. 

The CSAS admission process is divided into three stages: Submission of the CSAS-2022 application form, selection of programmes and filling out preferences, seat allocation and admission.
