Enter Top Six Preferences
There is a paradigm shift in the undergraduate admissions scenario at Delhi University (DU),
where Dyal Singh College and Sri Venkateswara College have become part of the top six
institutions desired by the prospective applicants. The new preference trend signifies the
changing priorities of the applicants who are now choosing colleges other than the popular
ones of DU.
In DU, the CSAS is used for admissions in undergraduate courses. It is based on the
applicants’ CUET-UG score and preferences that they have mentioned. This year, the fact
that Dyal Singh College and Sri Venkateswara College have become one of the top
preferences of the students shows how well they are trusted by the prospective applicants.
Although Hindu College, Miranda House, St. Stephen’s College, SRCC, and Hansraj College
have always been on the top preference list of students, the emergence of Dyal Singh
College and Sri Venkateswara College in the top preferences list implies how broad-minded
the applicants are becoming while selecting colleges.
According to educationalists, the change in trend also indicates the rising popularity of
various DU colleges due to continuous improvement in academic standards and college
facilities. Increasing awareness about the DU colleges through online portals, success
stories of DU alumnus, and better infrastructure has also been a contributing factor behind
the rise in popularity of these colleges.
It can be anticipated that the shift in trends will increase the competition among a greater
number of colleges. It is suggested that candidates should be well-prepared while drafting
their preference list and take into account not only college ranking but course availability and
faculty as well.
While the DU continues its admission procedure within the ambit of CSAS, changing trends
in the preferences of students indicate changing aspirations and perspectives regarding
education. Rising popularity of colleges such as Dyal Singh College and Sri Venkateswara
indicates the diversified academic system of DU.
