After accepting the seats, a total of 33,739 candidates had opted to upgrade to another programme and college. Of the total, about 11,649 candidates’ preferences have been upgraded by the university.

For the first time, at Delhi University, admissions to 79 undergraduate programmes across 67 colleges, departments, and centres are being done through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores. Till last year, admissions used to be done through merit lists based on class 12 marks, which saw skyrocketing cut-offs. The university used to announce up to seven cut-off lists every year. This time, the class 12 marks are being used for the tie-breaker process only.
