Delhi University Vice Chancellor Professor Yogesh Singh has said that the University will use Class XII marks to fill any remaining vacant seats after the regular admission rounds are completed. The announcement comes as the University Grants Commission issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) for Central Universities to ensure all seats in UG and PG courses are filled. The UGC noted that keeping the seats vacant for an entire academic year is not only a waste of resources but also results in the denial of quality higher education to many students. Reacting to the directive, Yogesh Singh told reporters that he welcomes the directive by UGC. Delhi University will use Class XII marks to fill the vacant seats in UG programmes. Last year, around 5000 seats remained vacant at DU, despite university employing multiple methods to fill all seats. As per the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by UGC, universities can conduct their entrance exams for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses if seats remain vacant after the regular admission rounds.
