Two DU women’s colleges permitted to bypass CUET to fill seats with merit-based admissions

Delhi University granted Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Bhagini Nivedita College special permission to fill vacant seats through merit-based admissions, bypassing CUET.

The colleges will admit students based on a combination of CUET scores and Class 12 marks after multiple CSAS rounds failed to fill seats.

The poor response is attributed to the colleges' location on the city's outskirts and their status as women-only institutions.

Aditi Mahavidyalaya in Bawana and Bhagini Nivedita College in Najafgarh have issued notices inviting applications for merit-based admission in physical mode.

DU registrar Vikas Gupta confirmed the permission; the colleges continue to face connectivity and amenity challenges.
