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.
