Admission to colleges affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) does not always conclude with the regular counselling rounds. Every academic year, after multiple rounds of online counselling, a number of seats remain vacant across undergraduate and postgraduate programs. To ensure that these seats do not go unused, the university conducts GGSIPU Spot Round Counselling.
For many students, the spot round becomes a second chance or final opportunity to secure admission. This blog explains everything you should know about GGSIPU spot round counselling, including multiple spot rounds, online and offline modes, course-wise opportunities, rules, documents, and tips to improve admission chances.
GGSIPU Spot Round Counselling is a special admission process conducted after the completion of regular counselling rounds. It is organised to fill remaining vacant seats in various courses offered by GGSIPU-affiliated colleges.
Unlike the standard counselling process, spot rounds are:
Faster in execution
Based strictly on seat availability and merit
Conducted with limited flexibility
Often considered the final stage of admissions
Because of this, students must be fully prepared before participating.
GGSIPU usually conducts multiple spot rounds, such as Spot Round 1, Spot Round 2, and in some cases additional spot rounds, depending on seat availability in a particular academic session.
For example, in an academic year like 2025–26, if seats remain vacant after Spot Round 1, the university may announce Spot Round 2 or even Spot Round 3 for specific programs such as B.Tech, BBA, or law courses.
Key points to understand:
The number of spot rounds is not fixed
It depends on course-wise and college-wise vacancy
Separate registration and fee payment is required for each spot round
Participation in one spot round does not guarantee eligibility for the next
Spot rounds may be conducted online or offline, depending on the course and year
One of the most important aspects students must understand is the difference between online and offline spot rounds. Both modes follow different procedures and expectations.
Online spot rounds are conducted through the official counselling portal.
