There is a quota for Delhi students at DU. In a recently concluded hearing, the Delhi High Court stated that a Delhi student who graduates from an NCR school will not be eligible for the Delhi Quota for college admissions. The Delhi High Court heard a petition from a class 12 student seeking the benefit of reservation for college admission and clarified that the Delhi Quota will be applied based on school, not domicile. In all Delhi University colleges, 85 percent of the seats are reserved for Delhi residents, while 15 percent are reserved for candidates from outside the city.
Below is a list of 12 Delhi University Colleges that are fully sponsored by the Delhi Government.
Indira Gandhi Institute of Phy. Education & Sports Science | Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies |
Shaheed RajGuru College | Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College |
Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College | Acharya Narendra Dev College |

According to the proposal by the Delhi Government, the colleges that receive 50% capital grants and 5% recurring grants from the Delhi State Government will likely have 50% reservations for Delhites. This list includes 16 colleges, which are as follows:
