The University of Delhi (DU) received 64,994 applications on the very first day of opening its registrations cum applications window this year. While last year as many as 3.5 lakh students had applied for nearly 70,000 seats available across colleges and universities in the varsity, the number is expected to remain as high this year as well.

In 2020, the cut-off or minimum requirement to take admission in three courses went up to 100%. The university has said that it will rationalise the cut-off from now on, however, details regarding the same have not been shared.
