It has been over two-weeks since the new batch of fuchchas entered Delhi University after clearing the sky-high cut-offs. However, individual colleges have not managed to fill up all the seats yet.
Over the weekend, the University released a consolidated list showing the number of seats still vacant in various colleges, for which students can apply on Monday and Tuesday.
Statement
A statement by the Registrar read: “The process of re-application for undergraduate courses is online, and candidates are advised to visit the DU website for all the details. The students are also advised to look at the vacant seat matrix provided on their dashboard, and select the course and college based on their eligibility and the number of seats available in the course/ category.”
Despite high demand, there are vacancies in courses like BA, B.Com and B.Com (Honours) a t colleges including Zakir Husain Delhi College (morning and evening), Daulat Ram College, Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, Delhi College of Arts and Commerce, Gargi College and Motilal Nehru College.
Students registered on the DU portal need to login to apply for these vacant seats, after which colleges will prepare a merit list. If two students with the same best-of-four-subject marks end up seeking admission for one particular seat, the aggregate marks obtained in Class XII will be used. There was a lot of confusion when the first round of vacancies was announced earlier by individual colleges. Colleges, too, had a hard time coming out with a merit list as they received thousands of applications for a handful of seats.
Even after the merit list was announced, students alleged that there were discrepancies.
