DU UG Admission 2023: The University of Delhi is conducting the registrations for Undergraduate admission 2023-24 through Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS 2023) portal. Applications are invited from candidates who have appeared for the CUET UG 2023 examinations. Those aspirants who did not select Delhi University as a preference while registering for CUET UG 2023 can still apply for admission to the university through its CSAS portal.
Delhi University, Dean Admission, Haneet Gandhi also said applicants who opted for the 'unreserved' category during the CUET registration can apply in the reserved category at the CSAS portal "if their certificate is ready". DU, on June 14, launched the CSAS UG 2023 portal and urged students who wish to get admission to the university required to apply at the portal.
The team of the admission branch briefed DU aspirants about the process of registration, admission and filling of forms during the webinar. They also answered some of the questions of the aspirants.
One such query was whether students can still apply for DU if they have not selected the university while filling out their preferences. Last year, only those students who opted for Delhi University as one of their preferences were allowed to apply at the CSAS portal.

"If a candidate has not selected Delhi University as a preference while registering for CUET-UG can still apply for admission to the university through the university's CSAS portal. Similarly, if a student has selected desired programmes, they can also apply for the programmes during phase II of the CUET," Gandhi informed.
Another query was related to the change of categories, to which Gandhi replied: "One should not do that but if there is some issue with your certificate and now it is ready, you can opt for the reserved category. Except for PWD students, aspirants can change their categories while filling out the CSAS portal. However, after applying at the CSAS portal, you cannot change their categories."

Asked whether students can change their mobile number and email ID used while they were applying for CUET, Gandhi said the students can mention alternate numbers but DU takes all the data from CUET and "consider only that one authentic". So all the information is sent on that number only, she said.

Amit Pundir, Joint Dean of Admission, informed that the student would be considered for the ordinary seats first. "You will be first considered in the first round of allocation and you will be allotted a seat. And after the ECA and sports trials, a new score would be prepared and based on that you will be allotted new seats. You will have a choice which seat you want to go for," Pundir said.
