Students who narrowly missed a seat in Delhi University’s first round of undergraduate admissions still have a strong chance in the second round, with several prestigious colleges reporting vacancies across popular courses. The second allotment list under the Common Seat Allocation System 2025 is scheduled to be released on July 28.
Highly-sought-after institutions like Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Lady Shri Ram College (LSR), Hindu College, Kirori Mal College, and Miranda House still have limited seats open, giving aspirants a much-needed second shot.
SRCC, LSR, AND HINDU REPORT LIMITED VACANCIES
SRCC, renowned for its commerce programmes, has five vacant seats in its Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) course—four in the unreserved category and one for Scheduled Caste applicants. At LSR, three unreserved seats in the same programme remain unfilled. Hindu College has a total of 50 available seats, though only one is in English (Honours), with none left in BCom (Honours). However, it still offers 16 seats in BSc (Honours) Physics. Kirori Mal College has more than 50 vacancies, with 23 in physics and 12 in chemistry. Miranda House has around 40 seats still open, including 14 in physics, 10 in botany, and three in English (Honours).
These vacancies are expected to be snapped up quickly when the second admission round begins on July 28. Candidates can start accepting their allocated seats from that day until July 30. Colleges will complete the verification and approval of applications by July 31, and students must pay their fees by August 1 to confirm their admissions.
The first round of admissions saw 62,565 students secure seats, including 34,014 women and 28,551 men. Amongst these were 143 orphaned students and 949 single girl children. While over 16,000 students chose to freeze their seats, nearly 44,000 opted to upgrade, leaving several opportunities open for fresh candidates in the upcoming round.
This year, for the first time since Delhi University adopted the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for undergraduate admissions, the university has made the minimum allocation scores or cut-offs public for each course and college. The highest cut-off was for BA (Honours) Political Science at Hindu College, which required a score of 950.58. Other top scores included 936.18 for Hindu College’s BA Programme in History and Political Science, 926.93 for English (Honours) at St Stephen’s College, 926.53 for Psychology (Honours) at LSR, and 925.98 for Political Science (Honours) at Miranda House.
With high competition and limited seats, students are advised to act swiftly in the second round to secure their place in some of the country’s most prestigious undergraduate programmes.
