NEW DELHI: According to a study of trend of applications for Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG) 2024, Delhi University (DU) is most popular university among 261 participating higher education institutions (HEIs) for undergraduate education.
DU, with around 80,000 seats across its affiliated colleges and departments, has received almost 26 lakh applications for its various UG programmes.This is however less than last year’s 28.3 lakh. A rider here is that this is not the final number as aspirants will be able to add to their choice of universities/ colleges and courses. Thus, the final number closer to counselling is likely to be higher.
In all, there are five universities which have each received over four lakh applications and 13 universities with over two lakh registrations. There are two private universities as well with over four lakh applications and two state universities (both from Delhi) with over three lakh registrations.
A CUET-UG aspirant is allowed to apply for multiple institutions and multiple courses and total number of candidates vying for UG admissions to central, and participating state, deemed and private universities this year are 13.47 lakh.
DU is followed by Banaras Hindu University with 8.4 lakh applications and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow with 5.1 lakh applications.
Of 261 HEIs, 41 received over one lakh applications including central universities such as University of Allahabad (4.8 lakh), Jamia Millia Islamia (2.6 lakh), Central Universities of Haryana and Karnataka each receiving 2.3 lakh, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Visva-Bharati with 1.6 lakh each, and Aligarh Muslim University with one lakh, among others.
