- Delhi University releases the first round of PG seat allotment for 2026 admissions through CUET PG scores, offering seats across 74 programmes with candidates required to complete acceptance and verification formalities.
The University of Delhi (DU) begins the first round of postgraduate (PG) admissions for the 2026–27 academic session by releasing the initial seat allotment list through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). The admission process is conducted based on candidates’ CUET PG scores and programme preferences submitted through the university portal.
The first allotment round provides admission opportunities across several postgraduate programmes offered by Delhi University. A total of 11,548 seats are allocated to eligible candidates across 74 PG programmes under different categories, including Unreserved, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes, Economically Weaker Sections, and other reserved categories.
Candidates who receive seat allocations are required to accept their allotted seats within the given timeline. The admission process includes seat acceptance, document verification, approval by the respective departments or colleges, and payment of admission fees to confirm enrollment. Students who fail to complete the required steps within the deadline may lose their allotted seats.
The PG admission process at DU follows a structured allocation system where seats are assigned based on CUET PG performance, eligibility criteria, category guidelines, programme availability, and candidate preferences. The Common University Entrance Test for postgraduate programmes, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), serves as the primary entrance route for admissions to various postgraduate courses.
The university advises applicants to regularly check the official admission portal for updates related to further rounds, vacant seats, and additional allocation schedules. Candidates who are not selected in the first round may participate in subsequent rounds depending on seat availability and admission policies.
The introduction of the CUET-based admission system aims to create a more transparent and standardised postgraduate admission process across universities. Through CSAS, Delhi University provides students with a streamlined platform to manage applications, preferences, allotments, and admission procedures.
The DU PG admission cycle continues to attract thousands of aspirants seeking advanced education in disciplines including humanities, sciences, commerce, management, and professional fields. The first allocation round marks a significant stage in the university’s postgraduate admission process, helping students secure seats in their preferred programmes and begin their academic journey.
