CUET UG 2022: Class 12 marks to act as tie-breaker for students with same CUET score, says Delhi University V-C | Education News,The Indian Express
DU will admit 20 per cent "extra students" under unreserved and OBC categories and 30 per cent in the SC/ST category to fill the maximum seats in undergraduate courses in the first round of counselling this year.
A Delhi University (DU) applicant’s performance in the Class 12 Board exams may, after all, prove to be useful for admission to undergraduate programmes this year. In the case of two students with the same CUET score choosing the same college and course as first preference, their class 12 Board marks will act as a tiebreaker for allotment of seat, vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh told PTI on Thursday.
“In case of a tie between two students, the scores of the best of three subjects will be compared. If the best three are also the same, then the best four will be compared and then the best five,” he said in his interview to the news agency.
“If by chance marks for the best five subjects are also the same, in that case, age will act as a tie breaker. The older applicant will get the seat,” he added.
This is the first year that a common entrance is being held for admission to undergraduate programmes in as many as 45 central universities. The Central University Entrance Test (or CUET-UG) is being held in two phases, over multiple dates, from July 15 to August 20.
Admission to all undergraduate programmes at Delhi University will be done through a candidate’s CUET score and not Class 12 marks. This year, the university will be offering 70,000 seats in undergraduate programmes across several colleges. Until last year, the university would release cut-offs based on the class 12 scores of students.
