What is Children/Widows (CW) quota 

It is s a supernumerary reservation for the children and widows of defence personnel, including eligible categories of serving and retired Armed Forces personnel, as per the university’s prescribed priority list. Admissions under the CW quota are conducted separately from the regular admission process and are based on eligibility, merit and the priority category certified through a valid Educational Concession Certificate (ECC).

What are the required documents for such quota 

Candidates seeking admission under the Children/Widows (CW) quota at the University of Delhi are required to submit a valid Educational Concession Certificate (ECC) in the prescribed format, issued by the competent authority such as the Kendriya Sainik Board, Rajya Sainik Board, Zila Sainik Board or the concerned Record Office of the Armed Forces. 

The ECC is the key document used to establish eligibility and determine the candidate’s priority category under the CW quota. In addition, candidates must submit their CUET scorecard, qualifying examination certificates and mark sheets, a valid government-issued photo identity proof, passport-size photographs, and any applicable category certificate, if claiming reservation under SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS or other reserved categories, as specified in the University of Delhi admission guidelines.
