# Delhi University UG admissions: 13,433 seats still vacant 2026-08-23T13:10:55+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Delhi University has opened undergraduate admissions based on Class 12 marks to fill 13,433 vacant seats, as per a notice dated August 23. The spot round is for B.A. and B.Sc. courses across several colleges, including Indraprastha College for Women, Mata Sundri College, and Ramanujan College. This is the third such list issued since last week. NDTV reports that prominent colleges like Hindu College, Hansraj, and SRCC are among those with vacancies. Hindustan Times adds that the admission process is separate from CUET-based admissions and is restricted to courses and colleges with unfilled seats. DU Registrar Vikas Gupta said students who applied via CUET received their preferred colleges based on merit ranking. Candidates can apply on the university's official website at admission.uod.ac.in. The vacancies span multiple categories and courses, with the university aiming to fill all remaining seats through this round. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both NDTV and Hindustan Times offer neutral, factual reporting on DU's spot round admissions, with no discernible slant. NDTV leads with the headline figure of 13,433 vacant seats and names elite colleges, highlighting the scale of unfilled positions. Hindustan Times focuses on the process shift to Class 12 marks and includes the registrar's explanation, framing it as an orderly alternative to CUET. Neither source discusses reasons for the high vacancies or potential student dissatisfaction. A balanced reading suggests the university is pragmatically filling seats, but the large number of vacancies could indicate a mismatch between student preferences and available courses. What to watch: how many seats get filled by this round, and whether similar spot rounds become a regular feature in future DU admissions. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - ndtv.com (neutral report) Leads with total vacancy figure and prominent colleges, factual no slant - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Focuses on Class 12 marks process and registrar's explanation, straight reporting This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
