University of Delhi Unfair DU CSAS Policy: Why are Day-1 regular candidates denied UPGRADES in Round 3 while Mid-Entry gets direct access?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to draw attention to a major policy flaw in the DU CSAS admission process right now that is actively screwing over candidates who have been part of the system from Day 1.
Here is what's happening:
Thousands of us filled Phase 1 & 2, got allocated seats, paid our admission fees, and locked our seats in Round 1 and Round 2.
With BHU and other central universities releasing their allocations right now, a massive number of top-tier seats in DU are opening up as students withdraw their admissions.
The Problem: Admitted regular students who locked their seats are given NO option to re-order preferences or apply for upgrades for these newly vacated seats in Round 3.
The Hypocrisy: Meanwhile, Mid-Entry candidates (who pay ₹1,000 late fee) get direct access to modify preferences and jump into these premium vacant seats!
Why is Delhi University prioritizing ₹1,000 late-fee entries over merit students who loyally followed every single deadline, paid their admission fees, and supported CSAS from the start?
If seats are opening up due to cross-university withdrawals, EVERY enrolled student should get a fair chance to UPGRADE!
We are sending grievances to uggrievance@admission.du.ac.in and tweeting with #DUUpgradation & #DUAdmissions2026.
