Apart from CBSE, students from Haryana, Kerala and Rajasthan boards registered highest number of seats last year

With the Common University Entrance Test this academic year and the university’s Common Seat Allocation System, 2021-2022 was the last year in which admissions to DU’s undergraduate colleges were done through the cut-off system based on class 12 marks.

Every year, the highest number of applications and seats come from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Last year, 59,199 of the 71,748 admissions were from the board.

The other national board, Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations CISCE came third in terms of number of admissions with 2389. The Board of School Education of Haryana is second at 2470.

The state boards with more than 1000 students in DU last year were the Kerala Board of Higher Secondary Education at 1672 admissions and the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education with 1511 admissions.

While these are the absolute numbers of admissions from these boards, the order of acceptance rates looks different. Of these, the Kerala board had the highest acceptance rate of 41.98 per cent since it only had 3983 applications.
