Two more "clearing house" rounds will be opened to tackle the problem of many empty seats in universities. The problem arose because of the direct university admissions system introduced by the Council of University Presidents of Thailand (CUPT). This is because some applicants who won seats in several faculties have not made up their minds about which faculty they would choose. The two additional rounds will set the deadline for applicants who won seats in many faculties to select only one placement. The faculties will then move up the other applicants to occupy the empty seats and set the deadline for interviewing them.
