DU Admissions 2022: Know the Reservation Criteria of Seats for SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS Categories

DU’s criteria for reservation of seats for SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS categories

DU’s reservation policy is based on the provisions of the Indian Constitution and follows the Central government’s policies for admission. There is a 15% reservation for SC candidates, 7.5% for ST candidates, 27% for OBC candidates, and 10% for EWS categories. Candidates will be granted admission when they have valid documents.

Documents Required 

Candidates must have their caste/tribe certificate at the time of registration in the prescribed format for all categories. The certificate must include the following details:

• Name of candidate’s caste/tribe
• Whether the candidate belongs to SC or ST community
• District and state or Union Territory of candidate’s usual place of residence
• The appropriate government of India schedule under which their caste or tribe is approved as a SC or a ST.

The certificates must be issued by a competent authority as mentioned by the central government.

Required documents for the OBC-NCL and EWS quota

Admissions under the OBC category are only valid if the candidate’s caste is included in the OBC central list and their caste has been declared as OBC by the government. The non-creamy layer (NCL) certificate is mandatory. Students applying in the OBC-NCL and EWS categories must have 2021-2022 financial year certificates that have been issued after March 31, 2022.
