62 athletes present against 60 places allotted

As published in the department's 2024-25 strength statement (SDAT — sports hostels strength statement 2024-25 (PDF)).

Sourcing caveat: SDAT publishes an allotted-and-present strength figure per hostel, and that is what we publish. It does NOT publish a reliable sport-by-sport or capacity split per hostel — the discipline column in the department's sibling PDF misaligned across extraction passes and produced contradictory results, so we publish none rather than a wrong one.
