Delhi University is one of the most popular universities not within India, but across the globe. Students from all over the country wish to study at the University of Delhi. Now that the CBSE 2021 result has been released and the students are prepared to start their college journey. A lot of students may not be aware of the admission procedure of Delhi University. Thus, Careers360 presents this article to help the students get the necessary information about the DU admission process.

The DU application form 2021 for UG programmes will be released on August 2. The admission to UG programmes is done based on the marks scored by candidates in the Class 12 examination. Getting admission to Delhi University and its affiliated colleges is very tough as the admission committee only releases six- seven DU cutoff lists. Another factor is that the cutoff for every programme is set at a very high standard of marks.

However, candidates who failed to qualify the DU cutoff can still have a chance for admission. In cases where all the cutoff lists have been released and few college seats remain vacant. The university releases a spot admission notice mentioning the vacant seats in their respective category and combined rank which candidates must have to be eligible for DU spot admission. To fill these vacant seats, a spot round admission will be conducted. The number of vacants seats differs for every category.
