Who is affected?
This update is for candidates participating in DU’s BTech admission portal who either intend to enter Spot Admission Round I or have a CW Round I allocation. Check the exact option and status shown in your own dashboard; a spot application and a CW seat acceptance are different actions with different follow-up deadlines.
Required student action
Spot-round candidates must sign in to the official DU BTech portal and submit the Spot Admission Round I application by 4:59 PM on August 1. CW candidates should check the July 30 allocation, accept an offered seat by August 1, respond to any verification query, and pay the admission fee by August 4.
After the August 3 Spot allocation, an allotted candidate must accept by August 5, obtain Faculty approval and complete payment by August 7. Save each acknowledgement and do not treat an allocation alone as a completed admission.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the DU BTech candidate portal and sign in with the registered credentials.
- Check whether the dashboard shows a Spot Admission Round I application option or a CW Round I allocation.
- If applying for Spot Round I, review the available programme choices and submit the application by August 1 at 4:59 PM.
- If allotted under CW, accept the seat by August 1 at 4:59 PM.
- Monitor the dashboard and registered email for Faculty verification queries.
- For a Spot allotment declared August 3, accept the seat by August 5 at 4:59 PM.
- After approval, pay the displayed admission fee by the applicable deadline: August 4 for CW or August 7 for Spot Round I.
- Download the submitted application, allocation, approval and payment records.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
A candidate who does not submit the Spot Round I application by August 1 cannot progress through this published spot-round schedule. An allotted candidate who misses the acceptance, verification-response or fee step will not complete admission within the applicable round. Do not assume that DU will reopen a completed action or retain the allocation.
