University of Delhi (DU) admission process for the 2026-27 academic session is primarily governed by the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS).
Admission:
• Undergraduate (UG): Based on CUET UG 2026 scores for regular colleges.
• Postgraduate (PG): Based on CUET PG 2026 scores for most courses; some management programs use CAT 2025/2026.
• DU SOL & NCWEB: Admissions are based on merit (Class 12 marks) and not require CUET scores.
UG Admission Timeline (Tentative)
• CUET UG Registration: Expected to commence in the last week of February 2026.
• CUET UG Exam: Scheduled for May 11 to May 31, 2026.
• CSAS Registration: Phases 1 and 2 usually begin after the CUET exam concludes or results are announced.
The CSAS UG 2026 Process (Step-by-Step)
Admissions to UG programs follow a three-phase procedure on the official DU UG admission portal:
• Phase 1:- CSAS Registration: Candidates must register on the DU portal using their CUET application number and upload required documents (Class 10/12 marks, category certificates).
• Phase 2- Preference Filling: After CUET results, candidates select their preferred program and college combinations. The university requires candidates to appear in CUET subjects that they passed in Class 12.
• Phase 3- Seat Allocation & Admission: Seats are allotted based on student CUET scores, category, and subject preferences. Candidates must “Accept” the seat and pay the admission fee online to confirm their spot.
PG Admission Process
• Registration: PG application forms are anticipated to be available from the last week of February 2026.
• Deadline: The tentative last date for PG application submission is July 15, 2026.
• Portal: Candidates must apply via the CSAS PG portal.
Important Notes for 2026
• Subject Mapping: For UG, you must select CUET subjects that align with your Class 12 curriculum. DU requires at least 50% syllabus overlap to establish subject similarity.
• Certificate Validity: Reserved category certificates (OBC-NCL, EWS) must be issued after March 31, 2026, to be valid for the 2026-27 session.
• Official Bulletins: Detailed guidelines are available in the UG Bulletin of Information 2026 and the PG Bulletin of Information 2026.
