DU, CSAS and CUET
Delhi University is conducting admissions to its constituent colleges this year through the Common Seat Allotment System (CSAS) portal. This year, students are ranked based on their Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores. The second stage of counselling is currently underway on the portal, where students lock in their choice of courses and colleges. This, they can do through the 'Advanced Filter' option in the portal.

In the notice, DU's Registrar also said that the CUET score of the student will be automatically calculated on the portal and displayed on the students' dashboard. Students can make their choices and edit their choices, if needed, up until 4.59 pm on October 12.

The new academic session at Delhi University is expected to start only after November 26, which is the last date for students to pay their fees under the third merit list. According to a report by IANS, teachers believe that the academic year 2022-23 will officially begin at DU only in December.
