After 5th cut-off, students have to register afresh

Delhi University, which began with its new academic session from Wednesday, also witnessed students grabbing the seats left in various undergraduate courses under the fifth cut-off list. The admission process and document verification will continue till July 22.

The university declared the final cut-off list on Tuesday night and very few seats are on offer in many of the colleges. Unlike previous years when the university used to declare 10 cut-off lists, this time it has only declared five.

But coming as a new change in the admission policy this year, the university will be offering students an additional registration process if the seats remain vacant after the fifth cut-off list. However, this time the colleges will notify the status of their vacant seats, both course and category wise, on the college website and the university portal.

But only those candidates who had applied earlier through online registration will be eligible to apply to the colleges online through the university portal wherever seats will be available as per schedule. Once the applications of the candidates are received online for three days each in two phases, the college will issue three fresh merit lists from July 27 to August 4.

Even after these three cut-offs, if seats remain vacant or the list becomes exhausted, the university will invite applications as a part of third registration process following the same procedure.

“In order to limit over-admission, we had decided to come out with five cut-off lists. Most of the colleges fill their seats in various courses by the fifth list. If any seats remain vacant after that, then the college will issue its own cut-off list and students will have to apply to individual college again. But only those students who have filled centralised online admission form will be considered. No fresh registration will be done,” admission committee member Nachiketa Singh said.
