Delhi University (DU) announced that its undergraduate admissions process for the 2026-2027 academic session will begin this week. The Centralized Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal is set to launch in late June. This system will manage admissions for over 71,000 seats across 79 undergraduate programs in more than 70 DU-affiliated colleges. The academic session is scheduled to start on July 21, 2026.
The university's admission process is now exclusively based on the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2026 results. CUET-UG replaces previous admission criteria like board examination cut-offs, establishing a merit-based selection system.
