Delhi University (DU) on Friday announced that a total of 68,116 students have secured admission to its undergraduate programmes after the completion of the second round of upgradation under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) for the academic year 2025–26.
According to official figures, 17,595 applicants had applied for an upgrade in this round. Out of them, 7,685 candidates successfully received an upgrade in their choice of course or college, while 46,257 applicants chose to freeze their allotted seats. In addition to this, 2,808 allocations were made under the performance-based and supernumerary categories. These include quotas for sports, extracurricular activities (ECA), Persons with Disabilities (PwD), Children/Widows of Armed Forces Personnel (CW), and international students. A DU official confirmed the figures to The Hindustan Times, noting that the second upgrade round marked a significant step towards completing this year’s undergraduate admission process.
As per the admission schedule released by the university, students allotted seats were required to accept them by 4:59 pm on August 23, while colleges were directed to verify and approve applications by 11:59 pm on the same day. The deadline for online fee payment is 4:59 pm today, August 24. Following the completion of these processes, DU will publish the list of vacant seats at 5 pm on August 25. Students who are not admitted to any college by today will be eligible to apply for the Spot Round until August 27, and allocations for the Spot Round will be declared at 5 pm on August 28.
The Spot Round is intended to fill seats that remain vacant after the initial rounds of allocation and upgradation. Students who wish to participate will only be able to apply to courses and colleges where vacancies exist, based on their category. The University has also notified students that admission in the Spot Round will be binding. Candidates must accept the seat offered, as failure to do so will forfeit their eligibility for any further admissions in this cycle.
With over 68,000 admissions already confirmed, the university is nearing the completion of its undergraduate admission process for 2025. The upcoming Spot Round is expected to provide the final chance for many aspiring students to secure a place in one of the country’s most sought-after universities.
