It also has 60 percent reservation of seats for students from Delhi, with additional quotas for women, economically weaker sections, and marginalized groups, indicating a significant focus on equitable access.

This admissions push highlights DSEU's key mission: to upskill, reskill, and empower India's next-gen workforce by leveraging an innovative, inclusive, and market-relevant education model.
