Reserved category candidates can now apply for general seats By IE Saturday July 7, 01:58 AM THERE is good news for applicants who have registered themselves under SC/ST categories at Delhi University this year for undergraduate admissions. In a notification issued on Friday, DU has asked all colleges to admit SC/ST candidates under the General category if they meet the cut-off marks. Earlier, students registered under the SC/ST category could not apply under the General category even if they met the cut-offs. This decision comes as a special arrangement to facilitate the SC/ST candidates in DU colleges in case they do not get admitted under the SC/ST category. This year, around 9,000 students from the reserved category have applied under the SC/ST category for 7,484 seats across varsity colleges. "Earlier, students under the reserved category missed out on admission in courses of their choice either due to a great rush in them or due to certain wrong decisions. But now they can get admission in courses of their choice even after the seats under their category gets filled," said Suman K Verma, Joint Dean of Students' Welfare (DSW) at Dehi University. "Moreover, this migration will not hinder the benefits granted to them under the reserved category." So far, about 4,000 seats under the SC category have been filled at Delhi University.
