DU Colleges are all set to receive additional seats this year. Hence, DU has decided to add 314 new undergraduate seats across its 63 affiliate colleges. Therefore, each college will receive 5 new seats approximately. It is a one time measure for the current times. Hence, those students who got registered in the online admission process but were not given admissions shall seek admissions now.
The candidates who were affected by the covid-19 pandemic or had financial constraints amidst the pandemic will be reconsidered. Hence, anyone who registered yet missed the admission procedure can apply now.

The additional seats and admissions to them will fall under the category of College – University seat quota. The candidates will be selected as deemed fit by the respective DU colleges in the ratio of 3:2 as per instructions.
However, the admission process for the prevailing seats continues under the special drive for reserved categories. Hence, some teachers are considering this College – University seat concept as an illegal method of admission.
