Delhi University to use Class 12 marks to fill vacant seats after regular rounds: VC Yogesh Singh
DU UG Admission 2024: The UGC has allowed universities to conduct their own entrance exams for UG, PG admissions after regular rounds.
University of Delhi will fill the remaining seats using Class 12 marks after regular counselling rounds of Common Seat Allocation System (DU CSAS) are completed, the vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh told the ANI today. The statement comes after the University Grants Commission (UGC) decided today to allow universities to conduct their own entrance exams for admission to undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses after regular rounds.
The UGC chairman Jagadesh Kumar said that the decision was taken to ensure all UG and PG seats are filled, adding that “keeping the seats vacant for an entire academic year is not only a waste of resources but also results in the denial of quality higher education to many students”.
“We welcome the directive by UGC. We are equally sensitive to the fact that seats in any course should not remain vacant. We will use Class 12 marks to fill the vacant seats in UG programs,” the DU VC told the ANI. Meanwhile, the university has announced the CSAS phase 2 schedule for DU UG admission 2024.
The delay in declaring Common University Entrance Test (CUET 2024) results conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) has
disrupted the academic calendar for the first-year students, several professors and universities alleged. In 2022, the central universities were instructed by the UGC to offer admission based on the CUET score by scrapping their own entrance exams.
Despite several measures taken by the university, more than 5,000 seats remained vacant in more than 60 DU colleges in 2023. The DU seat allocation is done on the basis of seat availability, programme-specific merit, order of preference submitted by the candidates. The university has announced that it will fill 71,000 seats through the admission process.
