The Delhi University (DU) has introduced single girl child quota across all its undergraduate programs starting from this academic session as it began its admission process through Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal.

The University has announced that all its undergraduate programs will have one seat in all its colleges under the supernumerary quota for a single girl child from the academic session 2024-25.

Supernumerary quota or seats are those that are created over and above the seats already approved for a college.

DU officials on May 28 launched the CSAS for undergraduate (UG) admissions into 69 colleges and departments, offering a total of 71,000 seats.

DU Registrar Vikas Gupta has noted that there are no major changes in the admission policy this year, except for the newly introduced reservation for single girl child in all programs as part of the supernumerary seats.

Last year, DU introduced a supernumerary category for orphan students, allocating one male and one female seat in each program of every college.

“This is the first time that the university will offer a supernumerary quota to a single girl child. There will be an option to apply for the quota in the portal just like we made reservation arrangements for orphan students last year. The rest of the process will be the same as other categories, with the most eligible student getting matched to a corresponding course. The proof and documents will be verified by the colleges before admission,” DU registrar Vikas Gupta said.

The UG admission process is set to take place in two phases, all of which will be based on the score obtained by students in the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

“The first phase is a simple registration process wherein the candidates seeking admission will have to fill their personal details and academic scores in Class 12, along with CUET (UG) application number,” said Haneet Gandhi, Dean of admission, DU.

“The second phase of the CSAS (UG) process will commence with the declaration of the CUET (UG) results where students have to complete the preference-filling,” said Gupta.

The University will also take 20% extra students for each program in each college under the General, OBC and EWS (economically weaker section) categories and 30% in the SC, ST, PwBD (person with benchmark disability) categories to fill the maximum number of seats.

“However, colleges where last year the withdrawals were less than 5% of the sanctioned strength, 10% extra allotments may be done for UR (Unreserved), OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes-Non Creamy Layer), EWS and 15% in SC, ST, PwBD categories,” the University announced.
