Delhi University (DU) has recorded an overwhelming response for undergraduate admissions for the 2026–27 academic session, with more than 1.90 lakh students registering through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). According to the university, 1,90,645 applicants have completed registration, while 1,64,098 candidates have successfully finished Phase II by submitting their programme and college preferences.
The university has set 11:59 pm on July 11 as the final deadline for both registration and preference submission. A one-time correction window, opened on July 10, also remains available until the same deadline, allowing applicants to rectify errors in their submitted details following requests from students.
The UG admission process began on June 26, while Phase II, covering subject mapping and preference selection, commenced on July 3. University officials have advised candidates to carefully verify their programme and college choices before the deadline, as preferences will be automatically locked once the window closes.
For the current admission cycle, DU is offering 73 undergraduate programmes across 69 colleges and departments, with a total intake of 71,624 seats. Students can choose from nearly 150 BA programme combinations, and the complete seat matrix is available on the university’s official website. Admissions under supernumerary categories, including sports and extracurricular activities, will also follow the preference-based allocation process.
The first CSAS seat allocation list is scheduled to be published on July 16. After accepting an allotted seat and paying the admission fee, candidates can either confirm their admission or opt for an upgrade in subsequent rounds. Those seeking upgrades will have the opportunity to reorder their higher preferences before the next allocation.
To simplify fee payments, Delhi University has introduced a virtual wallet system, enabling automatic adjustment of fees if a candidate is upgraded to a different programme or college, eliminating the need for multiple payments.
The university plans to complete two rounds of undergraduate admissions before the new academic session begins on July 28.
On the postgraduate front, DU released the third allocation list for two-year PG programmes, including performance-based courses such as MFA, B.P.Ed, M.P.Ed, and Music, on July 10. The latest round includes 1,765 fresh allocations, comprising 1,551 regular PG admissions and 214 performance-based admissions, while 5,848 candidates have already confirmed their seats.
Additionally, 8,823 candidates have applied for the university’s one-year postgraduate programmes designed for students graduating under the UGCF 2022 framework aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. DU also continues its BTech admissions through the second allocation list, while the first spot admission round for its five-year integrated law programmes has been announced with 18 vacant seats available.
