Address Queries Promptly to Avoid Rejection
One of the critical steps in the spot round is responding to any queries raised by the college regarding the application. DU has made it mandatory for students to address these queries within the given time frame. Failure to do so can result in the rejection of the application. Queries could include requests for additional documentary evidence or clarifications. Therefore, students are advised to regularly check their dashboards for any updates or requests from the colleges.
Seat Allocation: A Long-Awaited Moment for Many
Many students finally received seat allocations after months of anticipation, with over 6,000 candidates securing seats in this spot round. However, it is essential to stay alert, as the process is not over yet. Even after securing a seat, students should continuously monitor their admission status to ensure they don’t miss any queries from the college.
Common Issues Faced by Students
Students have been raising concerns about various issues encountered during the document verification process. Some students have reported seeing the status “document verification pending” or “application under process.” In a few cases, students have even encountered a notification stating “insufficient eligibility criteria.”
Let’s break down these issues:
- Document Verification Pending: Often, on Sundays or holidays, verification officers are not available, which may delay the process. However, students have reported that the verification process has resumed after a brief glitch in the DU portal.
- Application Under Process: This status indicates that your application is still being reviewed and might take some time.
- Insufficient Eligibility Criteria: This is a serious issue, and if it remains unresolved, it can lead to application rejection. If you faced this issue during the first round and it persists in the spot round, it’s critical to review your application and ensure you meet the specific course requirements.
Satisfaction and Confusion Among Students
Many students have expressed dissatisfaction due to not securing their preferred college or course combination. While some were happy with the course they received, they didn’t get into their desired college, leading to a compromise in expectations. As the admissions process continues, the chances of getting both the preferred course and college in the spot round reduce significantly.
What to Expect Next?
There are still some uncertainties regarding future admission rounds. DU has not yet provided clarity on whether there will be a second spot round or any other admission method following this round. Students are advised to stay patient and wait for further notifications from the university.
Parental Concerns: Should You Wait or Consider Private Colleges?
Parents of students who narrowly missed the cut-off marks are now wondering whether to wait for further rounds or explore private college options. One parent, whose child scored 188 in CUET and was hoping for admission to the Physics Honours program at Swami Shraddhanand College, shared their concerns, as the cut-off for that program was 195 in the second round.

DU cut-offs depend on various factors, including the availability of seats and the specific merit of each program. Some students and parents have suggested preparing for CUET 2025 as a backup option. However, there’s still hope, as seats might open up in the later mop-up rounds.
Final Thoughts
The DU admission process, especially in spot rounds, can be confusing and stressful for both students and parents. It’s essential to stay updated, address any issues promptly, and remain patient as the process unfolds. Although securing a seat at the preferred college and course may not always be possible, compromising on one can still be a good opportunity to pursue a desired academic path.
For now, students are advised to keep checking their dashboards, respond to any queries, and stay hopeful for the upcoming rounds of admission.
