The University of Delhi (DU) is allowing postgraduate applicants to change their social category on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal. This opportunity applies to admissions for 2026. The university announced this public notice on May 25, 2026.
Social Category Updates Available
Candidates seeking to revise their social category can do so on the CSAS(PG)-2026 portal. Previously, category information was automatically pulled from the National Testing Agency (NTA) database. This prevented corrections after the initial application. Applicants can now self-select their category. Options include General, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
This update facility does not extend to changing PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) status. PwBD status remains non-editable on the portal.
Who Can Update and Why
All candidates who applied for CUET PG 2026 and are seeking admission to DU postgraduate programs through CSAS PG 2026 can use this feature. This includes those who have already submitted or locked their applications.
Correct social category details are essential for reserved quota eligibility. Students who indicated an incorrect category in CUET(PG) 2026 can now rectify it. This also applies to students who recently obtained their OBC or EWS certificates.
Failure to update the correct category can lead to forfeiture of reserved category seats. This is a crucial step for eligible candidates to secure their rightful place.
Correction Window Details
The exact dates for this correction window have not yet been announced. The university will publish these dates on its official admission website. Applicants must monitor admission.uod.ac.in regularly for announcements.
This correction period is a one-time opportunity. Once the window closes, no further changes to social categories will be permitted for PG admissions in 2026.
