DU Admissions 2022: What upgrade option means

The candidates are given the option to choose the upgrade option and if they choose it they are giving consent to consideration of an offer of admission to a programme + college combination of their higher preference in the subsequent round. A candidate who opts for 'upgrade' can also reorder the programme+college combinations that were higher in preference than the allocated one.

On October 26, the varsity also released a list of vacant seats. In many of the courses, only one to two seats will be available for candidates in the second round of seat allocation, according to the list. As per the list, some courses like BA Economics in Hindu College and BA Programme (History + Political Science) in Aryabhatta College have no seats left. Most of the seats in popular colleges in Delhi University's North Campus like Hindu and Miranda House are also filled up.

In St. Stephen's College, several courses have only a few PwD (persons with disabilities) seats left. Unreserved seats are vacant only in BSc (Hons.) Physics (five) and BSc (Hons.) Chemistry (two) in the prestigious college. In Miranda House College, all seats in over 20 courses are filled up. The university, however, said the number of vacant seats might change due to reconciliations, withdrawals and cancellations.
