Your father's phone rings.
Unknown number.
"Hello, I'm calling from DU."
That's how it starts.
Calm voice. Confident tone. Real college names.
And then… the ask.
₹50,000. ₹60,000. Even ₹1 lakh.
All to "guarantee" a seat.
It's admission season at Delhi University.
Thousands of CUET aspirants are refreshing preference sheets, refreshing cutoffs, refreshing hope.
Perfect chaos for a scammer to walk into.
Tanya Rathi's father got a call promising a "guaranteed" college — for ₹50,000.
Rehan Chandra, dreaming of SRCC with a 715 CUET score, was offered a fake "management quota" seat — for ₹1 lakh.
Riya almost fell for it too — until the ₹60,000 demand for "paperwork help" made her hang up.
👉 Same script. Same confidence. Same trap.
These aren't random scammers reading off a list.
They know North Campus from South Campus.
They know cutoffs. They know preference-sheet jargon.
As Riya put it — it feels like talking to a real counsellor.
That's the danger.
Informed enough to sound official.
Dishonest enough to charge lakhs for a lie.
Dean of Admissions Haneet Gandhi put it in the simplest words possible:
🎯 There is no management quota at DU
🎯 Every single admission runs through the official CSAS portal
🎯 No call, no agent, no "insider" can change your rank
No shortcut exists.
None.
Hang up first. Report next.

The real DU admission process has exactly one door.
It's called CSAS.
Everything else is just someone trying to get rich off your family's anxiety.
That's all for now!
