The University of Delhi is set to release the first Common Seat Allocation System undergraduate allocation list for the 2026–27 admission cycle on July 16, 2026, at 5 PM. Candidates who completed CSAS registration and locked their programme and college preferences will be able to check their allotted course and institution through the official DU undergraduate admission portal.
The first allocation begins the main admission stage for more than two lakh applicants. Candidates receiving a seat must accept the allocation, complete document verification and pay the admission fee within the deadlines announced by the university.
| Admission Event | Deadline |
|---|---|
| First CSAS allocation list | July 16, 2026 at 5 PM |
| Seat acceptance window | July 16 to July 18, 2026, until 11:59 PM |
| College document verification | July 16 to July 20, 2026, until 4:59 PM |
| Last date to pay admission fee | July 21, 2026, until 11:59 PM |
| Second allocation list | July 25, 2026 |
Candidates who do not accept their allotted seat by July 18 at 11:59 PM will be removed from the ongoing CSAS allocation process.
After the allotted college verifies the candidate’s uploaded documents, the admission-fee payment option will become available. Provisional admission will be confirmed only after successful payment of the prescribed fee.
Delhi University has recorded its highest participation since the CSAS portal was introduced in 2022. A total of 2,73,751 candidates registered, while 2,18,284 completed Phase I and 2,08,043 submitted and locked their preference forms.
The university is offering 71,624 undergraduate seats across 73 programmes in 69 participating colleges and departments. This means nearly three candidates are competing for every available undergraduate seat during the current admission cycle.
Candidates satisfied with their allocation should accept it immediately instead of waiting until the final hours. They should also regularly monitor the admission dashboard for document queries raised by the allotted college.
Students seeking a higher preference in later rounds should carefully review the available upgrade and freeze options before making a selection. Choosing to freeze an allocation generally indicates that the candidate wishes to retain the allotted seat and does not want to participate in an upgrade, subject to DU’s CSAS rules.
