Anand Sonkar, deputy dean, admissions, said, “After this round, we will get to know the total number of seats that have been filled. We will then take a call on whether there will be a spot round or not. Normally, there is a spot round scheduled after the fourth round.”

DU registrar Vikas Gupta said, “Almost all the students accept their seats and pay their fees eventually. Eventually, some might drop out due to location and other constraints...”

Manoj Kumar Khanna, principal of Ramjas College said, “We have 1,634 seats. As of now, 1,600 seats have been filled. Some courses might be seeing a handful of extra allocations or vacancies but we had accounted for that and the process has been smooth so far.”
