Delhi University began the admission process for the academic session of 2024-25 for undergraduate courses. The academic session of this year is likely to commence in August 2024. While there are no major changes in the admission policy this year, the varsity, in a first, has introduced reservations for single girl child in all programmes as part of the supernumerary seats, DU registrar Vikas Gupta said, reported PTI.
One seat in each course reserved for a single girl child
The officials of Delhi University announced on Tuesday that they are introducing the single girl child quota across various programmes under its supernumerary category. Under this quota, one seat in each course in all colleges will be granted to a single girl child based on merit. This quota refers to those that are created over and above the seats already approved for a college.
Last year, DU introduced a supernumerary category to provide admissions to orphan students; a male and a female in each programme of each college.

Second phase to be intiated after CUET results
The second phase will start with the announcement of the CUET (UG) results, after which students will have to complete their preference-filling.
