The deadline to accept first-round postgraduate seats at Delhi University is today, June 17, 2026, at 4:59 PM IST. Applicants who received provisional seat allotments must confirm their acceptance online at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the offered seat. University officials state there will be no extensions or exceptions to this deadline.
Round 1 Seat Acceptance Deadline
University of Delhi (DU) released its initial list of postgraduate seat allocations. A total of 11,548 provisional seats were offered across 74 postgraduate courses. Candidates selected in this first round must formally accept their allocated seat by the specified time. The official portal for acceptance is pgadmission.uod.ac.in.
Accepting a seat requires logging into the applicant's panel and clicking the 'Accept Allotment' button. This action is crucial to secure the academic position. If an applicant does not accept the seat by the deadline, it will be automatically voided. This means the candidate will not be eligible for seat allocation in subsequent rounds.
Next Steps After Acceptance
Clicking 'Accept Allotment' is only the first step. The process continues with online document verification and college approvals. This verification stage runs from June 15 to June 18, 2026. Following successful verification, candidates must complete the final online fee payment by 4:59 PM IST on June 19, 2026.
Admissions are not finalized until all verification and payment steps are completed. Empty seats resulting from non-acceptance will be moved to future counseling procedures. Candidates are urged to check the official admission portal for detailed instructions and timelines.
