Taking admission in Delhi University is the dream of lakhs of students and in such a situation the reservation system proves to be very helpful for them. Many times students are not able to understand how much reservation is given to which category in DU. University of Delhi strictly follows the reservation policies of the Central Government.

If a student wants to take admission in EWS, OBC, SC or ST quota, then he/she must have a valid certificate which can be issued only by the designated authorities. These include District Magistrate, Additional District Magistrate, Collector, Deputy Commissioner, Revenue Officers ranked above Tehsildar and Sub-Divisional Officers of the concerned area. Apart from these, certificates issued by any other authority will not be considered valid.

things to note

The name, category, district and state of the caste should be clearly mentioned in the SC/ST or OBC certificate and it should also be written that the caste is accepted in the list of the Government of India. If a student does not have an updated certificate at the time of application, he can upload his application slip. But it is necessary to show the original and latest certificate at the time of admission.

Extra time will not be given under any circumstances. If a student belongs to SC/ST/OBC/EWS but wants to take admission under any other category like PwBD or CW, then he will have to fulfill the eligibility of that category also. At the same time, if a student, despite belonging to the reserved category, gets selected on merit in the general list, then he is not counted among the reserved seats.

How much reservation for whom?

There is 22.5% reservation of total seats for SC/ST students – 15% for SC and 7.5% for ST. Pass marks are considered sufficient for SC/ST students as minimum eligibility. If the admission is based on entrance test, then they will have to appear for the test, but their separate merit list will be prepared. A relaxation of 5% is given in the cut-off and if seats still remain vacant, further relaxation can be given as per need. SC seats can be given to ST and ST seats can be given to SC, but if the seats still remain vacant, then they are left vacant.

There is 27% reservation in total seats for OBC students. They get 10% relaxation in eligibility marks as compared to general category. But the OBC certificate should be of non-creamy layer and he should belong to the caste included in the list of the Central Government. If a student does not have the latest non-creamy layer certificate at the time of registration, he/she can upload the old certificate or application slip, but the latest year certificate is required to be shown at the time of admission.

10% seats in DU are reserved for EWS category. These are considered on the basis of rules set by the Central Government and eligibility is decided according to those guidelines. For EWS also, valid certificate issued by the prescribed authorities is necessary.
