DU UG Admissions: 2.06 Lakh Submit Preferences; Simulated Ranks Declared

By

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.

Delhi University Restructures Fourth-Year Credits

By
Notification-Increase-of-Credits-in-4th-Year-UGCF

The University of Delhi has revised the credit structure for fourth-year undergraduate students under UGCF 2022, increasing the weight of academic tracks from six to ten credits per semester with effect from 2026-27.

The University of Delhi released a notification, dated 10th July 2026, restructuring the distribution of credits in Semesters VII and VIII for students enrolled under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF) 2022. The changes will come into effect from the academic session 2026-27. 

The most significant change concerns the credit weight assigned to academic tracks. Previously, tracks such as the Dissertation, Academic Project and Entrepreneurship carried six credits per semester. Under the revised structure, four credits previously assigned to Discipline Specific Core (DSC) courses in Semesters VII and VIII will be transferred to these tracks, raising each track’s credit value from six to ten. Academic tracks will now carry a total of twenty credits: ten in Semester VII and ten in Semester VIII.

Alongside this, DSC courses in the two final semesters will no longer be listed as core requirements. They will instead be moved to the Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) pool for the respective semesters. Students will be required to choose three courses from this broader pool each semester, with the following combinations permitted: three DSEs, two DSEs and one Generic Elective (GE), or one DSE and two GEs.

This is not the first revision to the fourth-year credit structure under UGCF 2022. In January 2026, the university had permitted students in Semester VIII to take up to eight additional credits, thus raising the per-semester cap from 22 to 30 to enable students who had not yet completed core discipline requirements to qualify for a major. That change applied to students enrolled in the 2025-26 session. The July notification, by contrast, applies from 2026-27 onwards and addresses the internal distribution of credits rather than the overall cap.

DU Admission Scam: Aspirants Receive Fake Admission Calls

By

Delhi University aspirants all across India have been receiving scam calls from individuals posing as DU representatives, offering seats in their desired colleges for a ransom.

 

Due to its impeccable literary heritage, surmounting cultural importance and a great network of alumni, Delhi University stands out as one of the most aspirational and promising institutions for UG (undergraduate) studies. With CSAS phase 2 underway, where the college allotment process is decided by the preference list, students are navigating a mix of excitement, anticipation and nervousness. 

Despite the step-by-step process clearly outlined by the official website for admission to DU, a lot of students have reported getting scam calls from individuals claiming to be ‘admission counsellors’. They promise to prepare a personalised preference sheet for the students, helping them secure a guaranteed seat in their favourite college, all for a hefty amount of money. What makes the fraud particularly convincing is the callers’ apparent familiarity with the admission processes, quotas and college placements, lending credibility to their false claims.

Several students spoke to Hindustan Times regarding such frauds and one such student Tanya Rathi, from Ghaziabad reported:

My father received a call from someone saying, “I’m from DU.”‘ They said they help students with counselling and assured us that they would fill my preference sheet in a way that would ensure I get the college I wanted. In return, they quoted him ₹50,000.’’

Another student Rehan Chandra, from Jaipur stated:

The desperation to get into one’s dream college is such that once you hear the person take the name of a top college saying they can help get you admission there, one easily falls for it in that instance… When I received the phone, the caller asked me which college I wanted. 

Then the person on the other end of the phone claimed management quota seats were available and demanded ₹1 lakh to guarantee that I could get one.”

Multiple such incidents have been reported, suggesting that these are not isolated cases but a  part of a larger scam racket, taking place across all the cities, targeting the innocence and aspirations of the hard-working students and exploiting their lives for some amount of money. Such cases have occurred in the past as well. Last year a major fraud racket was caught by Delhi Police and Rs 1.34 crore was recovered in cash in Ghaziabad from two such scamsters who had been targeting the same group and sentiments. 

Similar instances of such frauds have also been reported and raised by users on Reddit of the r/delhiuniversity community who claim that they have been repeatedly contacted by individuals claiming to be the representatives of DU Admission Counselling offering direct admission. 

Addressing the concerns of such unsolicited calls, the Dean of Admissions of DU, Haneet Gandhi, informed:  

The university has repeatedly maintained that admissions are conducted only and only through the official CSAS portal. Any student receiving any such calls should not even think twice and report it to the concerned authorities immediately.”

Such calls are not meant to be taken seriously, and for any guidelines or doubts related to admission and the counselling process, parents and students are advised to refer to the official DU Admissions. 

If you get such a suspecting call, you could report it at www.sancharsaathi.gov.in / www.cybercrime.gov.in

Or call: Cybercrime Helpline Numbers: 1930, 011-20892633, 9319301930

DU Releases UG Seat Matrix 2026-27

By

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.

The academic year is set to conclude with a summer vacation running from 3rd June to 20th July 2027.

The notification additionally states that the summer vacation, which is currently in effect under the 2025-26 academic calendar, originally notified to end on 20th July 2026, may be extended to 27th July 2026, in order to accommodate the commencement of the new academic session.

The calendar has been issued for necessary compliance by all concerned. Copies of the notification have been sent to the Dean of Students’ Welfare, the Controller of Examinations, and college heads and principals, among others.

DU UG Admissions 2026: More than 82,900 students register for 73 courses in the first phase of CSAS

By

Delhi University has received over 82,900 UG registrations for 73 undergraduate programmes through the CSAS portal.

The University of Delhi has received more than 82,940 registrations, as of Tuesday evening, for undergraduate admissions to the 2026-27 academic session through its Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), officials said. The first phase of registrations opened on June 26 for candidates who appeared in CUET-UG 2026 and wish to seek admission to DU colleges.

Admissions to 73 undergraduate programmes and more than 100 BA programme combinations across 67 colleges will continue to be based on CUET-UG 2026 scores, subject to programme-specific eligibility criteria set by the university. Candidates are required to register on the CSAS portal using their CUET-UG 2026 application number. As part of a new initiative, key candidate details such as name, date of birth, photograph, and signature have been auto-integrated through the Government of India’s API Setu. Candidates applying under the General, OBC-NCL and EWS categories must pay a one-time registration fee of ₹250, while those from the SC, ST and PwBD categories are required to pay ₹100.

DU has also opened admissions under the Extracurricular Activities (ECA) quota, offering 1,370 seats across 14 categories. Leading colleges, including Miranda House, Hindu College, Lady Shri Ram College, Hansraj College, and Kirori Mal College, are offering seats under the ECA quota. As per the UG bulletin, admissions under the ECA and sports quotas will be based on 25% weightage to CUET scores and 75% weightage to certificates and trials.

The university aims to revise combinations for multiple BA programmes, alongside the ongoing registration process, said Dean of Admissions Haneet Gandhi. The revision will fix chronically low seat occupancy in courses such as Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Bengali, and Telugu by pairing them with subjects that draw stronger student interest. 

According to Gandhi, the exercise is data-driven and based on an analysis of admission trends over the years.

“We are going to make some changes in the BA programme combinations, as some of the combinations will be revised. We have analysed the data and trends from the last few years. The decision is completely data-driven. The information will be released within this week, along with the start of the second phase,” she said.

Once the initial registration phase concludes, candidates will move into the second phase of CSAS, where they will submit preferences for programme and college combinations.

Hindu, SRCC Named Best Colleges in the Country by India Today Group

By

2026 marks another year of Delhi University colleges topping the list in Commerce, Humanities, and the Sciences. 

Since 1998, the India Today Group has been conducting their annual Best Colleges Survey. The Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has been named the best college for commerce courses in the country for the 16th consecutive year. This year, interestingly, also marks the college’s centenary of establishment. India Today attributes the changes on the SRCC campus mainly to the proper implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF). This, according to the report, includes the availability of interdisciplinary study, increasing encouragement for students to participate in research projects, policy studies and field-based investigations. SRCC has reportedly further strengthened its student research journal, Strides. Its Business Analyst Journal was also recently included in the Australian Business Deans Council’s 2025 Journal Quality List. An initiative planned by the college for the academic session 2026-27 includes a one-year programme with professional services firm EY, focused on artificial intelligence and its applications in industry.

Hindu College tops the list for being the best college in the categories of the arts and sciences. Their Public Policy in Action (PPIA) programme, established in 2025, is a leading undergraduate public policy lab, allowing students to simulate real-world policy and development issues. It was launched with support from the Indian Railway Finance Corporation and Hindustan Steelworks Construction Ltd. 

In addition to that, the college has expanded its global engagement via its Office of International Programmes (OIP), which has allowed students to acquire seed funding for projects via representation at the Asian Undergraduate Summit. They have also secured partnerships with global universities such as Waseda University and the University of Warsaw. 

Faculty members are leading research projects in areas such as food security, sustainable development, governance and regional development, funded by agencies such as the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). The college is also working to expand its skill development centres (SDCs), which will create innovative career pathways, specifically those in mushroom cultivation and plant tissue culture, as well as its flagship initiative, “Sustainable Perfumery: The Art of Crafting Fragrances & Nurturing Careers”. 

Science students will continue to benefit from a growing ecosystem of specialised res­earch facilities, such as the Mat­erials Characterisation Lab, Polymer Research Lab, Drosophila Research Facility, Centre for Environmental Studies, Green Chemistry Networking Centre and Design and Innovation Lab. Further, the upcoming AI Training and Innovation Lab will allow  stud­ents, regardless of discipline, opp­ortunities to engage with AI, data analytics and other emerging digital technologies.

Over 41,473 register for DU UG admissions on the first day of CSAS Phase 1

By

In the first 24 hours after Delhi University activated its CSAS phase 1 portal, 41,473 students registered for undergraduate admission for the 2026-27 academic session. The university is expected to fill approximately 71,600 seats this admission cycle.

Delhi University has started the Phase 1 of the undergraduate admissions under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS UG-2026)  for the academic year 2026-27 on 27th June 2026. According to officials, the portal has received over 41,473 unique registrations on the first day.

One of the most sought after universities in the country, it provides 71,600 UG seats across 73 programmes and 100 BA programme combinations in various streams of studies under different faculties, namely Arts, Applied Social Sciences & Humanities, Education, Interdisciplinary & Applied Sciences, Music, Commerce & Business Studies, Mathematical Sciences, Sciences and Social Sciences. For the academic year 2026-27, admission to all UG programmes of all the colleges of UoD will be done on the basis of Common University Entrance Test (Undergraduate) – 2026 (CUET-UG–2026) only. The eligibility criteria of specific programmes and procedures involving the admission process is specified in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information–2026 (BoI(UG)-2026) available on the admission of the University (admission.uod.ac.in).

The CSAS-UG works in three stages. First you have to register; this is Phase 1. Then you have to fill in your preferences for programmes and colleges; this is Phase 2. Finally, you get to know which seat you have been allocated; this is Phase 3. You have to complete each stage to be able to go to the next one. Missing the registration deadline disqualifies a candidate from subsequent rounds. The university has stated that some Phase 2 and Phase 3 dates remain provisional and subject to confirmation via the admission portal.

Phase 1 of CSAS involves registering and providing academic information. Candidates also need to upload documents for verification. The first phase of the CSAS works with API Setu. API Setu is a central government platform that helps exchange data. The platform allows the university to verify candidate information, including CUET scores and academic records, directly from source databases rather than through manually uploaded certificates.

Phase 1 registration for the current cycle remains open, with the university directing candidates to its admission portal and registered email addresses for further communication regarding the schedule for Phase 2 and Phase 3. Seat allocation will be carried out based on CUET scores, programme-specific eligibility, reservation policies and the preferences filled by candidates.

The university has also announced that the new academic session will commence on July 21, provided the admission schedule progresses as planned.
