DU has published its Sports Supernumerary Quota seat matrix for the 2026-27 session, listing 2,153 seats across 28 sports and dozens of colleges – with Volleyball, Basketball, and Football offering the deepest pools, while Diving and Squash remain the most fiercely contested.
With CSAS-UG Phase II preference filling underway, the Faculty of Sports Sciences has released the 2026–27 Sports Seat Matrix in both sports-wise and college-wise formats. Published on July 6, the matrix details the supernumerary sports quota seats available across Delhi University colleges for the upcoming admission cycle.
A total of 2,153 seats have been earmarked under the sports quota, including 1,119 for men and 1,034 for women, across 28 recognised sports. As in previous years, team sports account for the largest share of seats, with Volleyball leading at 222 seats (117 men, 105 women), followed by Basketball (206), Football (195), and Cricket (192). While Cricket remains heavily male-dominated with 157 men’s seats and 35 women’s seats, Basketball has one of the most balanced gender distributions.
At the other end of the spectrum, Diving has just one seat, reserved for women at Shyam Lal College (Evening). Squash offers only 10 seats across the University, while Wrestling and Weightlifting have around 30 seats each. Sports such as Baseball, Hockey (35 seats, mostly for men), and Netball (22 women-only seats) are available at only a handful of colleges, making college preference a key factor for applicants.
Under DU’s sports quota admission framework, candidates are assessed on a 400-mark scale – 200 marks for verified sports certificates and 200 marks for trial performance – along with a 25% weightage from CUET-UG scores. To be considered, applicants must have registered their sport during CSAS-UG Phase I and uploaded eligible sports certificates issued within the last three years before the trials are conducted.
