Those who could not seek admission or had cancelled their admission during the preceding cut-offs but meet any of the preceding cut-offs and first special drive may be considered for admission under the second drive provided seats are available in the category.
“No movement allowed during the special drive. Candidates who have secured admission in any of the earlier five cutoffs (including special cut-off/drive-I) will not be allowed to participate in the Special Drive- II.
“This means candidates who are already admitted in any Programme College of the University of Delhi will not be eligible to participate in the special drive. Hence, cancellation options for candidates will be suspended during the special drive,” the university said.
Meanwhile, the Delhi University’s Non- Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB) released its special cut-off on Wednesday.
The NCWEB is a non-formal system of obtaining a degree from the Delhi University with lectures being delivered only on weekends.
According to the list, the BCom programme is closed at Hansraj College, Maharaja Agrasen College, Jesus and Mary College and Miranda House while the course is still up for grabs at 22 other colleges like Maitreyi College, Bharati College and Aryabhatta College.
