The students have three days to take admission under the DU second cut off list 2016 following which the next cut-off list will be released.

This is for the first time that the university has introduced full-fledged online admission procedure for undergraduate admissions, unlike previous years when it used to be both online and offline. The first day of the admission process under the first cut-off list saw chaos in a few colleges with the varsity portal crashing as soon as the cut-offs were released.

DU had announced this year that it will only release five cut-offs unlike previous years when the varsity issued up to ten cut-off lists.
