Hi there

The University of Delhi start a special drive to encourage the admissions to SC, ST and EWS categories most likely after the fourth cut-off is released, during the Special Drive, the university will consider cases of those who were left out.

For someone who met the criteria in the first list but didn’t come up for admissions, the university will re-open the window. This particularly benefits outstation candidates, who are at times, unaware and miss the opportunity. Otherwise, going by the university rules, those who meet the criteria in the first list and don’t come for admission are not eligible in the second list.

Such drives to fill up vacant seats under reserved categories were conducted in previous years as well but will be happening for the first time for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category, which was introduced this year, following government orders.

Hope this information helps.
