DU conducts admission through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) in three phases, namely:
Students are advised to select as many programs as possible. In the candidate's best interest, it's advised to choose maximum programs and programme+college combinations.
It is advisable that the candidate must fill out the CSAS (UG)-2023 form carefully.
The university will auto-calculate the program-specific merit score per the eligibility criteria, and you must confirm your scores before choosing the preferences.
Calculation:
Only "normalized scores" by NTA will be considered for DU counselling to prepare the merit list.
Consider the following example:
UG Programs | Student A subjects | Student B subjects | Normalization Score |
BA Hons Political Science | Hindi, Chemistry, Physics, Biology | English, Physical Education, History, Sociology | 662.15 |
BA (Hons) Economics | Hindi, Maths, Chemistry, Physics | Not eligible | 583.32 |
BA (Hons) Spanish | Hindi, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, | English, Physical Education, History, Sociology | 662.15 |
Check the video from the SuperGards channel to understand how to calculate the normalization score, as this is the score that will be calculated for the counselling process.
