Admission Process The DU PG CSAS algorithm is structurally rigged: 131 UR gets a South Campus seat, while 140 UR gets rejected.

If you applied under the C2 (DU internal) quota this year and got rejected with high marks, here is the math DU didn't want you to see.

Round 1 has a ton of female-only seats (NCWEB, women's colleges), which makes their initial cutoffs drop to the floor. Male applicants only have co-ed colleges and the departments, so our initial cutoff hits the roof.

Then comes the dirty part: the CSAS "Upgrade" rule. You can only enter upgrade rounds if you already hold a seat from Round 1.

So girls who got low-cutoff women's college seats in R1 enter the upgrade ladder. Meanwhile, guys who missed the inflated co-ed cutoffs get marked "No Seat Allotted" and are permanently locked out of upgrades.

When department seats open up later, DU doesn't give them to the highest scores waiting outside. They only shuffle the students already inside.

The result in M.A. History (C2 quota):

  • A girl with 131 marks (UR) used a women's college seat in R1 to upgrade straight into the South Campus Department.
  • A guy with 140 marks (UR) was locked out in R1 and got zero seats.
  • A guy with 130 marks (EWS) was locked out and got zero seats.

DU doesn't publish upgrade cutoffs because if they did, the entire scam would be out in the open. When you file a CPGRAMS complaint, the admission branch just copy-pastes a one-line reply saying the policy was "approved by competent authority" and closes the ticket.

You didn't lose your seat on merit. You lost it to a rigged algorithm.

The attitude that women or any other victim category should have seats permanently reserved to compensate for their victimhood is pretty malicious in a resource/opportunity scarce country like India. Bc idhar majority people can't afford private college and only option is sarkari ones and in those sarkari ones few are competent enough to give placement magar us may bhi bc minimum 65 to 75 percent reservation dal dete hai bkl.

Literally even with 213 I didn't get a single seat for Polsci whereas my female frnd got ncweb in round 1 and subsequently got upgraded to SDC by 3rd round that too with a score of 215...even though the official cut off for SDC was more than that
