The Delhi University (DU) is set to release its first cut-off list for the academic session of 2021 on Friday, 1 October. It will release five cut-off lists in total for this year’s merit-based undergraduate admissions.
In case of vacancy of seats after the third cut-off, special cut-offs, fourth and fifth cut-offs, along with another special cut-off list, will be released by the university.
The lists would be released on the official site of Delhi University as well as individual college websites.
Like last year, the university’s undergraduate admission process will entirely take place online due to the pandemic. Students are not allowed to enter the colleges unless they are called.
