DU released simulated UG ranks for 2.06 lakh CSAS candidates on July 12. The preference list editing closes July 13, with first allocation list due July 16.

The University of Delhi published simulated rankings for undergraduate admissions 2026–2027 on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal at 5 PM on July 12.

According to the university officials, 2,73,751 candidates registered on the CSAS portal this year, the highest number since 2022. During the second phase of the admissions process, which took place from July 3 to July 11, 2,06,835 candidates submitted their course and college preferences, while 2,18,284 candidates finished their registrations. Additionally, the female applicants outnumbered the male applicants among those who completed their registrations, with 1,20,509 women and 97,775 men, as stated by the officials.

During Phase 2, the candidates were required to map their CUET-UG 2026 subjects against those studied in Class 12 and submit ranked programme-college combinations. The simulated ranks were then calculated using the candidate’s normalised CUET-UG score, Class 12 subject mapping, and the preference order submitted in Phase 2. These ranks indicate a candidate’s likely position for each chosen programme-college combination relative to other applicants competing for the same seats.

The university officials clarified that the simulated ranks do not mean a final seat allocation or an admission offer. Candidates can revise or reorder their programme and college preferences until 4:59 PM on July 13, after which the preference list will be frozen ahead of the first round of seat allocation.

The first CSAS allocation list is scheduled to be released on July 16. Candidates who receive seat offers will be required to accept allotments and complete document verification between July 16 and July 20, with fee payment due by July 21. A second allocation round, allowing candidates to freeze seats or seek upgrades, is scheduled to begin on July 25.

Admissions to 73 undergraduate programmes and over 100 BA programme combinations across 67 colleges are being conducted on the basis of CUET-UG 2026 scores. According to the seat matrix published on the admission portal, DU is offering more than 71,000 undergraduate seats this year. Some of the most sought-after courses include BCom (Hons), BA (Hons) English, BA (Hons) Political Science, and BSc (Hons) Zoology and Mathematics.
