Students willing to seek admission, have been asked to apply within October 15. Only those who have appeared in the CUET are eligible to participate in the mop-up round, DU officials said.

New Delhi:The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked Delhi University (DU) to conduct a mop-up admission round to fill over 4,000 out of 71,000 seats in undergraduate courses at 13 colleges that are currently lying vacant. Three rounds of admission have already been completed at the university.

Colleges having vacant seats had earlier requested DU to give another chance to the students to opt for these vacant seats. DU has released a college-wise list of the courses where seats are vacant. Students who are eager to seek admission to these colleges have to apply within October 15.
