Why DU is Accepting Class 12 Scores for Admission?

Delhi University has decided to enrol students because many seats stay empty every year. The regular CUET rounds do not fill them. This causes a loss for the colleges. Hence, DU has decided to fill those seats based on Class 12 marks.

Students who have qualified class 12 and have not yet received a seat in DU are eligible to apply. Further, students who have low CUET scores are also eligible to apply.
