The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has revolutionized central university admissions in India. Gone are the days when ridiculous 99% board mark cutoffs dictated entry into Delhi University (DU). Now, your CUET score is your ticket to prestigious colleges like SRCC, St. Stephen's, and Hindu College.

Understanding the CUET Pattern

CUET is divided into three sections:

  • Section IA & IB (Languages): Testing reading comprehension and vocabulary.
  • Section II (Domain Specific Subjects): 27 subjects based strictly on the NCERT Class 12 syllabus.
  • Section III (General Test): Covering general knowledge, current affairs, numerical ability, and logical reasoning.

DU Admission Requirements

Delhi University requires you to appear in CUET for the subjects you studied in Class 12. For most B.A. (Hons) and B.Com (Hons) programs, the combination typically requires one Language + three Domain subjects. B.Tech or B.Sc programs often mandate Mathematics and relevant science domain subjects.

The CSAS Portal Counseling

After your CUET results are out, DU counseling takes place via the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal.

  1. Phase 1: Apply to DU through the CSAS portal by filling in basic details.
  2. Phase 2 (Preference Filling): Once CUET scores are declared, map your subjects and fill in college+course combinations in order of preference.
  3. Phase 3 (Allocation): Accept the seat allocated based on your score and category, and pay the fees.
