CUET and CSAS Impact: Vacant Seats at Delhi University Colleges
Imagine schools have a new way to pick students, called CUET and CSAS, but some colleges have empty seats.
Before, they used how well you did in your last year of school.
Now, things are unclear, and some students are missing out.
The new system makes it hard for colleges to know who's coming.
Also, a new longer college course might not seem as good if you can't easily get a job with it.
Some think the new system needs to change to be clearer and work better for students.
Many seats remain vacant in Delhi University colleges after CUET and CSAS implementation.
The new system replaced admissions based on Class XII marks.
Colleges have limited insight into seat allocation and cut-off marks.
A 'mop-up' operation allows admissions without CUET/CSAS based on Class XII marks.
The four-year undergraduate course may not suit everyone.
