The Joint Admission Counselling (JAC) Delhi 2025 authority is set to release the vacancy list for the Spot Round of B.Tech and B.Arch admissions today, July 11, by 12 p.m. This marks a critical juncture for candidates who have not yet secured a seat or are looking to upgrade their allotted branch or institution.
What is the Spot Round?
The Spot Round is conducted after the completion of all regular rounds of counselling. It provides an additional opportunity for eligible candidates to claim any vacant seats left due to withdrawal, non-payment of fees, or cancellation after previous rounds. Unlike earlier rounds, Spot Round admissions are final, and no withdrawal is permitted after seat allotment.
Only candidates who are either unallotted or wish to upgrade from a previously allotted seat can participate in the Spot Round. However, the specific eligibility conditions, including registration fees and willingness criteria, vary each year and must be carefully reviewed by aspirants.
Where to Check the Vacancy List
Candidates can log in to the official website for JAC Delhi 2025 counselling is https://jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in. and find the updated vacancy matrix under the Spot Round tab once it is released later today. The list will include:
- Institute-wise available seats
- Branch-wise seat distribution
- Category-wise vacancies (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.)
- The participating institutes under JAC Delhi include:
- Delhi Technological University (DTU)
- Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW)
- Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi)
- Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT)
- Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) (B.Tech only)
Why the Spot Round Matters?
The Spot Round serves as a last and final shot for many aspirants to secure a seat in prestigious engineering institutes of Delhi. Many high-ranking candidates who missed initial deadlines, had documentation issues, or chose to wait, often pin their hopes on the Spot Round. Additionally, candidates seeking branch upgradation or shifting to a more preferred institute also actively participate.
However, this round is considered riskier as it involves mandatory acceptance of the allotted seat—without any further opportunity for withdrawal or refund.
Key Instructions for Candidates
Here are important instructions for candidates aiming to participate in the Spot Round:
- Check Eligibility: Only candidates meeting the minimum eligibility criteria and those who have either not been allotted a seat or wish to upgrade can register.
- Payment of Fees: A fresh spot round participation fee is usually required. This is non-refundable and must be paid before locking choices.
- Choice Filling: Candidates must fill and lock their choices carefully. Allotment will be done based on merit and preferences.
- Final Seat Allotment: Once the allotment is made in the Spot Round, it will be treated as final, and no further counselling rounds will be conducted.
Candidates are also advised to ensure that their documents and credentials are in order. Reporting to the allotted institute within the stipulated deadline is crucial to avoid cancellation of the seat.
