State colleges in Gujarat will conduct a mop‑up round to allocate remaining undergraduate and postgraduate seats, officials said.
Gujarat's higher‑education authorities announced that colleges across the state will hold a mop‑up round to fill vacant undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) seats for the current academic year. The move comes after several institutions reported unfilled seats following the regular admission cycle.
The mop‑up round is scheduled to begin within the next two weeks, with colleges invited to submit their lists of unoccupied seats to the state education department. Interested candidates will be notified through the existing admission portal and will have a limited window to confirm their enrollment.
Education officials said the exercise aims to ensure optimal utilization of available seats and to provide additional opportunities for students who missed the initial round. They also emphasized that the process will follow the same eligibility criteria and fee structure as the regular admissions.
Stakeholders, including student unions, have welcomed the initiative, noting that it could reduce the number of unused seats and help aspiring learners secure a place in higher‑education programs without delay.
