Last Friday, DU released its first merit list of students for the 2024-25 session, allocating 97,387 seats for various combinations and colleges for undergraduate courses. Shortlisted candidates had until 4.59pm on Sunday to accept their allocation and could pay the fees by 4.59pm on August 21.
There are around 71,600 seats in undergraduate courses across DU colleges. Candidates have till August 21 to confirm their admission by submitting their fees.
Though the total number of seats in the university is 71,600, the administration decided to make extra allocations to fill the seats optimally so that the academic session for the first semester can begin on August 29. The university has implemented a new strategy to avoid vacant seats by accepting 50% more applications this year.
