1. Change the DU college or course

Applicants who wish to change colleges have to cancel their first admission. To cancel the first admission, candidates have to go to the admission portal of Delhi University - du.ac.in and click on the ‘Cancel’ tab. Then, they need to remit a cancellation fee and print out a copy of the cancellation fees slip.

The admission fee at the second college is adjusted automatically if it’s the same as the first college. However, applicants have to pay the balance fee if the admission fee is more than the fees already paid at the formar college. If the fee in the second college is less than the previous one then the balance is refunded to the applicant’s account.

While cancelling the admission, the fee is refunded to the candidate’s account with a deduction of Rs. 1000. The remaining amount of the admission fee is adjusted automatically as the admission fee of the second college. After completing the cancellation fee process, the students also receive a cancellation slip. They are advised to retain this receipt and print out multiple copies of the slip as it is required during the document verification.

3. Select New Course and College

Now that candidates have completed the cancelled admission to the previous college, they can proceed to choose their desired college and course. For admission to a new college and course, applicants have to visit the official website and log into the UG admission portal. Before starting the selection process, applicants need to make sure that they fulfill the cutoff requirements for the new college and course.

4. Collect original documents from former college

Once candidates have completed their cancellation process, they need to obtain their original certificates or documents from the previously admitted college. After acquiring the documents, applicants are required to submit their original certificates or documents at the new college.

Questions related to DU Delhi

Have a question related to DU Delhi ?

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, if you are a student pursuing B. Sc (Hons) Botany in Delhi University, you can choose Zoology as a minor subject based on the college's syllabus. According to the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF 2022), part of the NEP framework, the Delhi University system allows students, the opportunity to select a minor subject that is outside of their major discipline. Zoology, is an acceptable minor choice for Botany students as both subjects belong to life sciences. Here is how to choose zoology as a minor:

  1. You should first check with your college's Botany department/academic coordinator if Zoology is available as a minor subject.
  2. When you register for your courses or fill your preferences (which usually occurs in the first semester), select Zoology as your minor subject of preference.
  3. You may have to continue studying Zoology for the subsequent semesters to obtain the required credits for a minor.

Remember to refer to your college specific academic handbook or website, as the subjects offered may vary from each of the DU colleges.


Hello Akash,

Yes, candidates who are not allocated a seat in the first round of Delhi University (DU) admissions can reorder their preference list during the period allowed before round two. DU normally has a 'Preference Editing Window' after each round for candidates to reorder, add or subtract program college preferences.

However, this is only possible if not allocated a seat in the earlier round and your application is still valid.

Hello Aspirant,

If your DU application status still shows "Pending Document Verification" and today is the final day, here's what you need to do right away:

  1. Either Visit or Call the College – Either go to the concerned college in person(if possible) or call their admission office without delay. Describe your circumstance and request prompt attention.
  2. Email the Admission Helpdesk – Send your application number, name, and documents to the college or university admission support team in an email. Be polite but state that it is urgent.
  3. Keep the Screenshots & Proofs - Take a screenshot of the application status or keep the documents ready if they request for new upload/resend.
  4. Check for Portal Delays - Furthermore, sometimes the portal takes time to update, even when the college has approved the document. It is best to directly confirm with the college.

Yes, you can take admission in M.Tech Computer Science in IITs or NITs through GATE, even if you have completed your B.Tech in Information Technology and Mathematical Innovation from Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi but there are a few things to keep in mind:

Eligibility depends on GATE paper: You need to appear for the GATE Computer Science paper. If your degree has sufficient CS or IT subjects, you’re eligible for this paper.

Each IIT or NIT has its own criteria: While most IITs or NITs accept related branches like IT, some specific institutes might have particular course requirements. So, check the official brochure of each institute.

Admission is based on GATE score and category: A high GATE score improves your chances, especially for top IITs. You’ll also need to apply through COAP for IITs and CCMT for NITs.

So yes, you're eligible, but always cross-check eligibility criteria of the specific institute during admission time
