Delhi University on Friday announced that candidates applying for undergraduate admissions on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal will be able to view the number of candidates who have opted for a particular programme in any DU college, through a new feature that has been added to the portal’s dashboard.
The university is currently in phase two of its three-stage admission process, in which students have to fill in the order of preference of their college and programme choices. In phase three of the admission process, students will be allotted college and programme combinations based on their Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores.
The latest feature will offer students an insight into the demand for various college+programme combinations and give them a clearer picture of the chance they stand of seeking admission in in them.
“This count is being updated every two hours to help the candidates get real-time information about their programmes and college preferences. Candidates are advised to keep referring to this window and make informed choices,” the university said in a statement.
“The candidates are advised to select maximum number of programme+college combinations to facilitate their probability of getting allocations as per the CSAS rules,” the university said.
Phase I and Phase II of the CSAS will auto-lock the preferences saved by the candidate on October 10 at 04:59 p.m., after which the university will announce the third phase of the admissions.
