Finally! Been waiting for GAT-B based admissions since January. Hope the Plant Molecular Biology course has enough seats. We need more research-focused biotech programmes in India 🌿🔬
The merit-only admission for one-year PG is good but what about students who did 3-year UG? Seems like DU is prioritising NEP curriculum students over traditional ones. Not very inclusive.
My son got B.Tech second allocation list - finally some relief! But the 4:59 PM July 8 deadline is too short. Working parents can't always check portals every hour. Needs more flexibility.
Spot round for Integrated Law! This is the real game-changer 🎯 So many of us missed the main cut-off by 0.5 marks. DU is listening to students for once. Thank you!
Noticed they mentioned MFA, B.P.Ed, M.P.Ed, Music allocations on July 9. These performance courses always get last priority in scheduling. Hope the university gives them proper infrastructure too, not just dates.
1.48 lakh applications for UG but only 62k completed Phase II? Shows how many students are still confused about the new CSAS portal. DU should extend the
