DU Admissions 2022: SRCC Admitted 20% More than Allotted Seats Under CSAS System

New Delhi: Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), which had protested Delhi University's decision to admit too many students in the first round of seat allocations under its new admission system, has ultimately admitted more students in both of its programmes than its sanctioned strength in the final count.

Delhi University made the decision to admit more applicants than the authorised seats in the first round as part of the new Central Seat Allocation System (CSAS) of admissions based on CUET scores. The unreserved, OBC, and EWS categories received 20% more funding for each programme in each college, while the SC, ST, and PWD categories received 30% more funding.

This was done in an effort to complete the allocation process as quickly as possible, with the hope that following rejections and withdrawals, the total number of admissions would stabilise around the authorised number of students.

DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh stated that SRCC had opposed to this during an Idea Exchange discussion at The Indian Express this month. They advised against it, claiming that 'nobody will quit our institution, meaning we will have an additional 20–30% of pupils.' They had every right to be concerned, too. However, we requested that they build more facilities for our pupils. The institution will assist you in that procedure if you need it, according to Singh.

SRCC had no open seats after the first round of seat assignments, but DU had three rounds. 626 seats in various categories are authorised for the college's BCom (Hons) programme. Final enrollment in the course totals 756, which is about 20.7% (or 130 additional students) higher than the authorised number. There are 155 seats authorised for the college's BA (Hons) Economics programme. Final enrollment in the course totals 185, which is 30 students or roughly 19.35% more than the authorised number of students.

According to Singh, DU will investigate if well-known institutes like SRCC have ended up with more students than authorised. "Since it will be intriguing to examine what transpired in reputable institutions. Do they have an additional 20% to 30% of students? Or did some kids transfer to another school? We are unaware of that, he declared.
