New Delhi: Delhi University has begun its physical on-the-spot mop-up admissions for undergraduate courses, with only 73 BA Honours seats filled on the first day, officials said.

DU officials said all reserved categories, except OBC and Unreserved (UR) students, were called for admission on Tuesday. About 876 students were invited for 1,700 seats, but only 73 were taken up.

Roughly 7,000 seats remain vacant across categories, including around 2,000 for PwD candidates, despite multiple admission rounds. For BA Honours, about 2,600 UR and OBC students are scheduled for Wednesday. Admissions for BCom and Economics will follow on Thursday, with science courses called the next day.

The physical mop-up round is set to conclude on September 29. Unlike regular admissions, it is based on Class 12 marks rather than CUET scores. Any seats remaining vacant after September 29 will remain unfilled for the session, officials said.
