Why It Matters
Timely Action Required: This is a critical window—candidates must act quickly to secure their upgraded seats or risk missing out.
No Further Flexibility: Once the dashboard freezes post-August 24, no withdrawals or changes are possible.
Last Chance for Admission: The spot round offers the final opportunity for those still without a seat.
Bottom Line: DU’s CSAS UG admission process is currently in the upgradation phase—students must accept seats by August 23, complete fee payments by August 24, and, if needed, participate in the spot round scheduled between August 25 to 30. Missing these dates could result in forfeiting admission altogether.
