Delhi University allows 3 more colleges to fill vacant UG seats on Class 12 marks
Delhi University has permitted Shyam Lal College, Rajdhani College, and Zakir Husain Delhi College (Evening) to admit students to select undergraduate programmes based on Class 12 board marks, after seats remained vacant through the regular Common University Entrance Test (CUET) process. The colleges will handle admissions directly and publish merit lists. This follows similar permission granted earlier this month to Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Bhagini Nivedita College.
Shyam Lal College is accepting applications from August 19 to 21 for BSc Physical Science with Chemistry, BSc Physical Science with Electronics, and BA (Hons) Hindi, with a merit list on August 23. Rajdhani College's deadline is August 24 for courses including BA (Hons) Sanskrit, BSc (Hons) Physics, and BA Programme with Sanskrit and History, with the merit list on August 25. Zakir Husain Delhi College (Evening) is accepting applications until August 23 for language and humanities programmes like BA (Hons) Persian, Sanskrit, and Urdu.
The relaxation is limited to specified courses and does not replace CUET as DU's regular admission route. Both ndtv.com and news.abplive.com reported the details without any critical or political framing, presenting the development as a routine administrative step to fill vacancies.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both ndtv.com and news.abplive.com reported this DU admission update as straight news, with no discernible slant. The coverage focuses on dates, courses, and procedure, presenting the move as an administrative fix for vacant seats. Neither outlet questioned the policy or noted any opposition. For a careful reader, the key takeaway is that this is a narrow, time-bound exception limited to six colleges and specific courses, not a shift away from CUET. Watch for how quickly the remaining seats fill and whether more colleges get similar permission in the coming weeks.
