With the National Testing Agency (NTA) announcing the CUET UG 2024 results, Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru will initiate the second phase of its delayed undergraduate admission process in the next three days.
Admission into the two central universities has been postponed due to delays in the release of results by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The officials at the two universities said that they are yet to receive the result data from NTA. The academic session, which was due to start in August, will likely commence in early September for UG courses at both universities, as per the officials.
Delhi University (DU) is holding admission for over 71, 000 seats across its over 65 colleges through CUET UG. Meanwhile, JNU is admitting students to various undergraduate programmes based on CUET marks, including B.A. (Hons.) in Foreign Languages and B.Sc.-M.Sc. Integrated Programmes.
So far, around 2,64,000 students have registered for the first phase of admission on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal.
At Delhi University, the first phase of admission began on May 28. The delay in the release of the result of CUET UG led to a delay in the start of Phase Two of admission at the university.
Phase two of admission was dependent on the CUET-UG results.
Speaking to ANI, DU Dean of Admission, Haneet Gandhi, said, "As soon as we get DU, we will get a result from NTA. We will start phase two of CSAS. which students will be able to see for which course they are eligible. 10 days will be given to students to fill out their preferences and colleges. We are expected to start the second phase by Wednesday."
