New Delhi: Delhi University (DU) has announced a special admission drive to fill the vacant seats in the colleges affiliated with the varsity. The university had earlier announced the Undergraduate Admission for the academic year 2018-19 based on five cut-off lists, which now have been completed. Now, the DU admission committee recommended that a special drive should be announced on July 16 and 17.
Meanwhile, the university is expected to release its sixth cut-off list for admissions to undergraduate courses on Wednesday, according to a statement released by the university. Before the announcement of the previous cut-off lists, around 50,000 out of 56,000 Delhi University's undergraduate seats were already filled up across more than 60 colleges for the 2018 admission year.
In the fifth list, very few major colleges issued cut-off for courses such as English, Economics, and BA English (Hons). Miranda House is offering 96.25 per cent, whereas Hans Raj College is asking for 95.5 per cent. However, the announcement of the sixth cut-off list indicates that some seats are still vacant. Colleges with vacant seats are likely to announce a reduced cut-off in the sixth list to fill up their seats. The university also announced the schedule for a special drive for UG Admissions on Saturday. The drive, set to be held on Monday and Tuesday, will help aspirants who inadvertently missed to apply in respective categories.
According to the statement, students who will make rectifications would be considered for admissions under the sixth cut-off list.
