Meanwhile, several DU colleges have started releasing fourth-year registration notices on their respective websites for eligible students. Students facing difficulties during the admission process have been advised to consult the official admission bulletin for guidelines. DU authorities are also working to resolve a technical issue related to verification of certain applicants' details with the National Testing Agency (NTA). With registrations already exceeding available seats, the coming phases of admissions are expected to witness heightened competition.
