The DU application form 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 Delhi University spot admission. To fill these vacant seats, a spot round admission will be conducted. The number of vacants seats differs for every category.
