Dear Nandini

Admission to Deshbandhu College is no longer based on the class 12 percentage obtained by aspiring candidates. For undergraduate admissions to the college, the CUET UG exam acts as the major criterion for Deshbandhu College admission. On the other hand, for postgraduate admissions, the CUET PG exam is the major eligibility criterion. Once you appear for the CUET exam for UG/PG as applicable, the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) of Delhi University releases multiple seat allotment lists. If your name is mentioned in the list and you have been allotted a college, you either ‘accept’ the seat or skip it and try for another round. 

Hope this clarifies your query! For any further clarifications, please feel free to contact our team!
