CYSS Demands Separate Cut-off Marks for Delhi University Admission under CUET; Check Details Here

New Delhi: The student wing of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS), has urged that colleges affiliated with Delhi University (DU) should be allowed to release individual cut-off marks instead of using a centralized cut-off system under the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). 

According to CYSS leader Anand Prakash, the previous system, where colleges independently released cut-off marks, was more transparent. However, the new system adopted by Delhi University has left students confused about the cut-off marks of various colleges, leading to difficulties in choosing appropriate programs and colleges for admission.

The student wing of AAP, CYSS, has made several demands regarding DU Admission Process. They have requested DU to create a special admission window for students from violence-affected Manipur. 

Moreover, they urged the university to provide a 15-day relaxation period for OBC and EWS students to submit their category certificates. 

Furthermore, CYSS is calling for the admission portal to be opened for students applying under the sports quota, enabling them to upload relevant certificates. 

Another concern raised by CYSS leader Anand Prakash is the fee increase in the past two years, where DU authorities have raised the fee by INR 1,700, which might negatively impact students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

According to the CYSS, the introduction of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of admissions. They claimed that around 15,000 seats in Delhi University-Affiliated colleges remained vacant. 

Earlier, in 2021, more than 54,000 girl students were admitted to DU colleges, but after the centralised system was implemented in 2022, only 34,000 girl students got admission, representing a drop of 34%, Prakash revealed. 

Meanwhile, the CYSS has provided helpline numbers, which are 9717208239, 8375019223, 8586049885, 9868454488, and 8222840599, for students aspiring to join DU colleges.
