Gujarat University yet to decide on vacant commerce seats

AHMEDABAD: Almost two weeks after completing the fourth round of admission for Gujarat University affiliated commerce colleges, the authorities are yet to take a call on the large number of vacant seats this year. No decision has been taken whether to conduct another round of admission or entrust the colleges with the task to fill the seats on merit basis, said sources in GU.
At the end of the fourth round of online admissions for commerce courses at Gujarat University, 12,633 seats lay vacant. In the fourth round, 2,899 candidates had been enlisted of which 2,797 were allocated colleges by the admission committee.
Out of the total 40,744 seats, 28,111 seats have been filled so far, said sources in the admission committee.
Faced with the challenge of filling up the large number of vacant seats in commerce colleges after three rounds of online admissions, Gujarat University had decided to conduct a fourth round only for the 11,000-odd candidates who could not secure admission in the earlier rounds as they could not get the college of their choice.
