New Delhi, July 26 -- Around 12,000 seats are still vacant in undergraduate programmes in Delhi University (DU) after admissions of over 62,000 students were confirmed in the first round, a senior university official said on Friday. According to DU data, admissions of 62,565 students had been confirmed in the first round of admission through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). This year, 93,166 allocations were made against 71,624 seats across 69 colleges. According to the data, however, the number of vacant seats should be 9,059. DU dean of admission Haneet Gandhi explained, "There are about 12,000 vacant seats at the moment. This difference in data is due to the extra allocations made in the first round. If extra allocations had been made to a particular programme in a college and all the admissions were confirmed along with the extra, that would be reflected in the confirmed admission data." "However, if a programme has vacant seats where majority did not confirm admission, that will be counted in the vacant seat data," Gandhi told HT....
