Admission Process for Spot Round 1
Students will be able to see an option for “Spot Admission” on their dashboard. They can apply for the available vacant seats during the given window. Once the application period ends, the declaration of seat allocation will occur on September 21, 2024, at 3:00 PM, earlier than the usual 5:00 PM allocation time in previous rounds. Successful candidates must accept the allocated seat by September 22 and complete all required formalities, including document verification and fee payment, by September 24.
Future Spot Rounds Possible
This is just the first spot round, and based on previous admission trends, students can expect further rounds. The likelihood of Spot Round 2 remains high, which means additional opportunities may arise for those still seeking admission. This gives students more chances to secure their desired seats.
Withdrawal and Freezing of Seats
For students considering withdrawing their admission to participate in the Spot Round, they must withdraw by September 17, 2024, by 5:00 PM. After this deadline, all admitted candidates will have their seats frozen and will not be able to withdraw or participate in any further movements.

Admission Statistics So Far
As of the third round of admissions, DU had confirmed 72,263 admissions. This number reflects a decrease of approximately 2,000 admissions from the earlier figure of 74,133. This decrease is attributed to students withdrawing or moving to other categories such as CW (Children/Widows of Armed Forces Personnel).
Conclusion
With Spot Round 1 officially confirmed, students now have clear guidelines on how to proceed. The university has provided one last chance for many hopeful candidates. For those who do not secure seats in this round, Spot Round 2 might offer additional opportunities. However, students are encouraged to carefully assess their options and follow the timeline closely to avoid missing out on the final rounds of admissions.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the start of Spot Round 1.
