NEW DELHI: Delhi University will be releasing a special cutoff list after the third one for those eligible students who fail to take admission for whatsoever reasons. Admissions under the first cutoff list will begin on Monday.
The declaration of special cutoffs is subject to availability of vacant seats in the programme and college. A circular issued by the university stated that the special cutoff would be the last declared cutoff of the respective college and course. For example, if for college A, the first cutoff for BSc (H) mathematics for a specific category was 98% and the college did not declare a second and third cutoff list, but later seats remain vacant, then the special cutoff for the course would be 98%.
No movement would be allowed during the special cutoffs. Candidates who have secured admission in any of the earlier three cutoff lists would not be allowed to participate in it.
“Candidates can apply to a single programme and college by ensuring they meet the required eligibility condition and declared special cutoff. Merely applying under the special cutoff does not guarantee admission to the candidate. No grievances will be entertained in case a candidate fails to apply or pay the fees (if approved) within the stipulated period,” the circular stated.
Once the fifth cutoff would be released, vacant seats for each programme in colleges would be displayed on the website of the university.
The circular mentioned, “Candidates who could not seek admission or had cancelled their admission in any college during any preceding cutoffs for any reason till the fifth cutoff (including special cutoff) and were, therefore, not admitted, but meet any of the preceding cutoffs, shall be considered for admission under the special drive, provided seats are available in the said category.”
Once candidates take admission, they would have to sign an online declaration stating that all information provided by them is correct. If after taking admission in the first list, a student wants to change the course or college, a cancellation fee of Rs 1,000 would be levied. The college fee would be adjusted automatically.
