Delhi University has opened PG admissions for the 2026-27 academic session under NEP 2020. Read on to see eligibility, registration dates, application fees, and more.
The University of Delhi (DU) has officially announced the start of admissions for its postgraduate (PG) programmes for the academic session 2026-27. Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Delhi University will now offer two types of Master’s programmes:
- Two-Year Master’s Degree Programme – The traditional route, open to students from any recognised university across India.
- One-Year Master’s Degree Programme – A new, shorter route under NEP, available only to eligible Delhi University students.
The university has also confirmed that registrations are now open for Two-Year Master’s Degree Programmes, while a separate portal and schedule for One-Year Master’s Degree Programmes will be announced by the university in due course.
Students who are currently in the third year or fourth year of their undergraduate degree from any recognised university are eligible to apply for the Two-Year Master’s programme at Delhi University.
However, they must meet a few important conditions:
First, the candidate must have appeared in the CUET (PG) 2026 exam in the relevant subject papers. Second, the candidate must meet all programme-specific eligibility criteria as mentioned in the PG Bulletin of Information 2026. Finally, seat allocation will be done strictly through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-PG) portal, based only on CUET (PG) 2026 scores.
The registration window for Two-Year PG programmes is now open.
- Registration Portal: pgadmission.uod.ac.in
- Registration Start Date: Saturday, May 16, 2026
- Registration Last Date: 11:59 PM, Sunday, June 7, 2026
There is also a one-time, non-refundable CSAS (PG) 2026 application fee charged per programme:
- SC/ST/PwBD candidates: Rs. 100 per programme
- UR/OBC-NCL/EWS candidates: Rs. 250 per programme
Since the fee is per programme, students applying to multiple programmes will need to pay the fee for each one separately.
This year, Delhi University has introduced a new auto-integration feature for applicants. Using the DigiLocker and API Setu platform, the university will automatically extract key details of the candidates, including the candidate’s name, date of birth, gender, category, parents’ names, and CUET PG 2026 scores.
Delhi University recognises the efforts made by the NTA (National Testing Agency) for integrating student data into a national registry and sharing it securely with universities.
This step aims to improve data accuracy, reduce errors, strengthen data security, and support the broader Digital India vision of making government-to-citizen (G2C) services more accessible.
Delhi University has clarified that the One-Year Master’s Programme will be open only to specific DU students. To be eligible, a student must have completed or be completing either a Four-Year Bachelor’s Honours Degree with Research or Entrepreneurship, or A Four-Year Bachelor’s Degree with a Major in the relevant subject.
Along with these conditions, students must also meet any other eligibility requirements specified for their chosen programme.
The University of Delhi has advised all candidates to regularly visit the official admissions website at admission.uod.ac.in for updates on admission status, important schedules, and new announcements.
Given the two-portal system this year, one for the Two-Year Master’s Degree Programme, already live at pgadmission.uod.ac.in and one for the One-Year Master’s Degree Programme (coming soon), students are advised to check the website frequently and ensure they are applying on the correct portal for their chosen programme.
