Additionally, the university has admitted 132 orphaned students under another supernumerary quota introduced last year to support COVID-19 affected children.
The university announced the seat allocations for the third round of admissions, which began on August 31. The single girl child quota reserves one seat per program in every DU college, while the orphan quota reserves one seat each for a male and a female student in each program.

In this phase of admissions, offers will be made through performance-based programs and supernumerary quotas, including those for children of armed forces widows and for special achievements in extracurricular activities and sports.
According to the data released by the university, 1,061 seats were allocated under the ECA quota, 1,648 under the sports quota, and 332 under performance-based criteria.
