Locking of Preferences

The candidate can reorder the preferences of the selected combinations if he/she wishes to, before the deadline of the Preference-Filling. Before submitting, the candidate must ensure that the order of preferences is as per his/her choice. Editing the Program + College combination preference list after the deadline for the Preference-Filling will NOT be allowed, i.e., the candidate CANNOT change the order of his/her preferences OR add/delete any more Program/s and/or College/s after the deadline for Preference-Filling. The last saved preference order will be locked automatically upon reaching the deadline of the PreferenceFilling. These locked preferences will become the basis for allocating seats for all rounds of CSAS(UG)-2024.

DU Simulated Ranks 

Before the commencement of the First CSAS Allocation round, the University will declare Simulated Ranks which are purely tentative ranks based on the scores and preferences submitted by the candidates at the end of Phase II. The Simulated Ranks will be displayed on the dashboard of the candidate. These Ranks should not be construed as a warranty, express or implied, or creation of a legitimate expectation or as final ranks for allocations of a program of study or college/department/centre whatsoever. After the declaration of simulated ranks, in case a candidate wishes to update/ revise/ add/ delete/ reorder any preference, s(he) may do so at this time. The candidates must, however, “save” their preferences at regular intervals. Only the saved preferences will be used for regular allocation.
