The first phase, launched on May 28, 2024, is a simple registration process wherein the candidates desirous of seeking admission will have to fill their personal details and academic scores obtained in Class XII.
The University has now launched its Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS(UG) -2024) document that elaborates on the procedures that will be adopted for admissions. The CSAS (UG) registration is divided into two phases. The first phase, launched on May 28, 2024, is a simple registration process wherein the candidates desirous of seeking admission will have to fill their personal details and academic scores obtained in Class XII. CUET(UG) – 2024 Application Number will be mandatory for applying to CSAS(UG)-2024. The name, signature, and photograph of the candidate will be auto-integrated from the CUET(UG) – 2024 portal. These fields will be non-editable. There will be a provision to enter an active email id and mobile number of the candidate. All communication from University of Delhi will be made only on the email id submitted in the CSAS-2024 Application Form.
The candidate will then be required to fill his/her personal details such as Parent’s Name, Category / Sub-Category/ Caste/ Supernumerary Quotas, Gender, Email id, Mobile number and Bank Account details will not be changed. The candidates must take utmost care while filling in these details as they will be able to change these details once the form gets submitted. In the Academic section, the candidates will have to fill in the details of the marks obtained in his/her class XII. For students who have passed Class XII from CBSE, the marksheet will be auto-integrated through his/her DigiLocker. Subsequently, the candidates will opt for the supernumerary category, if any and finally proceed to pay the registration fees. The registration fees are Rupees 250/- for UR, OBC-NCL and EWS candidates, while it is Rs. 100 for SC/ST/ and PwBD candidates. This will complete the first phase of CSAS(UG) 2024.
The second phase of the CSAS (UG) process will commence with the declaration of the CUET (UG) results. To participate in the second phase, the candidates will have to login to their CSAS dashboard and complete the Preference-Filling. In the second phase, the candidates will have to map the subjects studied by them in Class XII to the subjects in which they have appeared in CUET(UG). The University of Delhi will consider only those CUET Language/Domain papers which are same/similar to the subject studied by the candidate in his/her Class XII. Based on the subject mapping provided by the candidate and the program-specific eligibility requirements, the candidates will be able to see their cumulative marks for every program they are eligible for admission. The University will consider the scores provided by the NTA to calculate the merit scores of candidates. The candidates will be able to choose the Programs he/she is eligible for. It is advisable for the candidate to select the maximum number of Program/s + College/s to avail of the maximum benefits of the CSAS admission policies. Only the Programs + College Combinations selected by the candidate during the Preference-Filling phase will be considered for allocation and upgradations (if any). The order of selection of the Program + College combination will also determine the preference order for the allocation of seats. Hence, the candidate must carefully prioritize the preference of Program + College combinations while sequencing them. It is in the best interest of the candidate to fill the maximum number of preferences so as to benefit optimally from the upgradation in subsequent allocation rounds.
The University will provide sufficient time for the candidates to fill in the preferences. However, the candidates should start shortlisting the Programs and Colleges they are interested in to avoid last-minute haste.
“Upgrade” or “Freeze”
After the closure of each allocation round, the University of Delhi will publish the details of the vacant seats in each program in all Colleges. All admitted candidates will have the option to opt for “Upgrade” or “Freeze” at this stage. The candidates who have secured their admission will be able to reorder the preferences that are higher than the one in which he/she has taken the admission. Candidates who opt for ‘Upgrade’ will be considered for upgradation to a higher preference submitted by him/her. A candidate who gets upgraded will have to ‘Accept’ the upgraded seat and complete the admission procedures on the upgraded Allocated Seat/s. A candidate who has taken admission on an Allocated Seat and desires to continue with it should submit a ‘Freeze’ request through his/her dashboard. On selecting ‘Freeze’, such a candidate will never be allowed to opt for “Upgradation”.
The following rules will be applied to break the tie – a higher percentage of aggregate marks in the Best 3 subjects of Class XII; a higher percentage of aggregate marks in the Best 4 subjects of Class XII; a higher percentage of aggregate marks in the Best 5 subjects of Class XII; Age of the candidate.
Mid-Entry phase
The University has also made a provision to accommodate the candidates who fail to register themselves within the stipulated registration period. This is the Mid-Entry provision. The University will open a Mid-Entry phase to give an opportunity to the candidates who failed to apply for CSAS(UG)-2024 and are desirous of participating in CSAS(UG)-2023. Such a candidate can enter midway by paying a Mid-Entry fee of Rs. 1000.00 (non-refundable). However, the mid-entrants will not hold any right to claim the seats allocated to candidates who had applied to CSAS(UG)-2024 during the initial Application Phase.
