Vacant Seats in Top Colleges
Several prominent DU colleges have reported vacant seats. Hindu College has 29 seats available. Hansraj College has 79 seats open. Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has 4 vacancies. These vacancies exist across multiple programs.

Reasons for Vacancies
The large number of vacant seats follows multiple admission rounds. Reports suggest students did not accept allocated seats. Some applicants faced issues with documentation. Others did not meet specific eligibility criteria.
Intense competition may have led students to miss out on their preferred course or college. This could also contribute to seats remaining unfilled in top institutions like Hindu College and SRCC.
