DU Releases UG Seat Matrix 2026-27

DU releases the UG Seat Matrix 2026-27 for CSAS admissions, detailing category-wise seat splits across 91 colleges.

The University of Delhi has released the Undergraduate Seat Matrix for the Academic Session 2026-27 on the official admissions portal on July 3, 2026. The document lays out the sanctioned seat intake for admissions under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) 2026.

According to the University, the seat matrix spans 86 departments and 16 faculties across 91 colleges.

The document explicitly asks aspirants to cross-reference the seat matrix with the Bulletin of Information (BoI) to check specific domain-specific subject mappings required in CUET, and that the University may also consider doing extra allocations in the initial rounds of allocations to begin the academic session with optimal strength.

For every single programme at every college, the matrix lists seats across the following categories, in compliance with the official reservation norms:

UR – Unreserved
OBC-NCL – Other Backward Classes (Non-Creamy Layer)
SC – Scheduled Caste
ST – Scheduled Tribe
EWS – Economically Weaker Sections
Sikh Minority (SM)
Christian Minority (CM)

On top of these, colleges also declare additional seats beyond the sanctioned intake for three categories: PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities), CW (Children/Widows of Defence Personnel), and KM (Kashmiri Migrants).

Another notable detail in this year’s matrix is how minority-status colleges allocate seats. Colleges with Christian Minority status: Jesus & Mary College and St. Stephen’s College, largely replace the OBC-NCL, EWS (and in the case of JMC and Mata Sundri, also SC/ST) columns with seats reserved for the Christian Minority category, alongside UR seats.

Similarly, colleges affiliated with the Sikh Minority: Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, Mata Sundri College for Women, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Khalsa College, and Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College show zero seats in the OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and EWS columns for every programme, with those seats instead accommodated into the Sikh Minority category.

We can also note some of the recent, more niche programs offered by DU, such as:

The Cluster Innovation Centre offers both a B.A. (Hons.) Humanities and Social Sciences and a B.Tech. in Information Technology and Mathematical Innovations (IT & MI), each with 20 UR seats.
College of Art offers just 1 UR seat (and 1 seat each across OBC-NCL, SC, ST and EWS) for its Bachelor of Fine Arts programme, the smallest single-programme allocation in the entire matrix.
Ramanujan College continues to offer vocational B.Voc. programmes in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, and Software Development, alongside its regular honours courses.

The full seat matrix, spanning all 91 colleges and every sanctioned programme, is available on the official DU admissions website—admission.uod.ac.in—for students to consult as they finalise their CSAS 2026 preferences.
