Delhi University Admissions 2025-26: Everything You Need to Know Before the Merit Lists Drop

Published On:

Delhi University (DU) has moved completely online for the 2025-26 admission season, and the gateway for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) seats remains the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). Whether you’re eyeing a coveted Hansraj BA seat or a slot in the brand-new Robotics minor, here’s the streamlined roadmap you’ll follow once CUET results are published.

1. CUET Results → Jump to the DU Admission Portal

Once the National Testing Agency (NTA) releases CUET UG and PG scores, head straight to admission.uod.ac.in. DU’s dashboard now auto-pulls your CUET percentile, saving you from manual data entry errors.

2. Create or Reactivate Your CSAS Profile

  • New applicants: Register with the e-mail ID and mobile number that were used for CUET.

  • Previous-year droppers: Simply log in—your basic profile will already be there; just update academics and category certificates if required.

Pro tip: DU has added a “preference simulator” this year. Play around with college-course combos to gauge last-year closing ranks before locking choices.

3. Rank Your College-Course Preferences

In the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), drag and drop your dream combinations—e.g., BCom (Hons) – SRCC or BA (Hons) Psychology – LSR. You can reorder until the locking deadline, but once the window closes the list is frozen for the entire allocation cycle.

4. Pay the One-Time CSAS Fee (Non-Refundable)

  • General/OBC-NCL/EWS: ₹250

  • SC/ST/PwBD: ₹100
    Payment activates your application in the system; skip it and you’ll be invisible when merit lists are generated.

5. DU First Merit List—How to Check

  1. Visit admission.uod.ac.in after the announced release time.

  2. Click “Candidate Dashboard”.

  3. Log in with your CUET credentials.

  4. Download the 1st Allotment Result PDF or view it on-screen.

  5. If allotted, click “Accept Seat” within the stipulated window.

Seats not accepted in time automatically lapse to the next candidate in line.

6. Documents You’ll Need at the College (Original + 1 Set of Copies)

  • Class X certificate (DOB proof)

  • Class XII mark sheet and provisional certificate

  • CUET scorecard (downloaded PDF)

  • Transfer and migration certificates (if applicable)

  • Caste/EWS/PwBD certificate, signed by a competent authority

  • Recent passport-size photographs

  • Photo ID (Aadhaar/passport)

Something new: DU colleges will scan each certificate and tag it to your Academic Bank of Credits ID, so paper verification is much faster than before.

7. Interesting Addition: A Sneak-Peek at DU’s 2025 Innovations

  1. Robotics & AI Minor: Starting this session, several north-campus colleges will let science majors tack on a four-course Robotics minor powered by industry mentorship from IIT-Delhi alumni.

  2. Green Credits: Participate in the university’s tree-plantation drives or campus solar-panel projects and earn up to two “green credits” that count toward your degree workload.

  3. 360° Orientation Week: After admission, freshers can sign up for VR-enabled campus tours—see your lecture hall, canteen, and library in 3-D before stepping on-site.

8. What Happens After Round-1?

  • Freeze: Satisfied? Lock your seat and pay the college fee.

  • Upgrade: Opt for a higher preference in Round-2; your current seat stays safe until you’re upgraded.

  • Withdraw: If you change your mind, withdraw before the notified cut-off date and reclaim most of the fee minus a small processing charge.
