New Delhi: Ahead of the announcement of first seat allocation list, the Delhi University on Friday issued a "simulated" list of ranks of candidates seeking admission to undergraduate programmes.

The university said it will help them assess their probability of allocations in a particular programme and college.

The ranks are determined based on the scores and preferences submitted by the candidates till Thursday, October 13. The simulated ranks are featured on the dashboard of the candidates. The list comes a day after the university closed the first (submission of the application form)and second (filling of college-course preferences) phases of the admission process.

According to data provided by the university, 2,17,653 aspirants have registered for its undergraduate courses till Thursday, the last day for applying.

Out of this, more than 1.5 lakh have marked their college and course preferences.

"The University of Delhi has added another feature on the dashboards of the candidates, simulated ranks referring to which the candidates will be able to know their tentative ranks," the varsity said in a statement.

"Through this facility, the candidates will be able to assess the probability of allocations in a particular programme and college," the statement read.

Subsequently, the candidates will also be provided with a two-day window from October 14 to October 16 to change their preferences.

The "Preference-Change" window can also be used to add or delete programmes and option of selected

colleges.

"After sequencing their preferences under the "Selected Preferences", the candidates must ensure that their updated preferences are saved. Use the "Save Changes" tab to save the updated preferences. They must also preview the "Preference Selection" window to confirm their saved preferences have been submitted successfully," the statement

Upon reaching the deadline of the "Preference-Change" window on October 16, the last saved preferences will be automatically locked and these will become the basis for determining the allocation lists.
