Delhi University has confirmed admissions for 71,130 undergraduate students for the academic year 2025-26, nearly filling up its total capacity of 71,624 undergraduate seats across its 79 programmes in 69 colleges. The university made this announcement following the release of the third round of seat allocations under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS).
According to the Delhi University admissions data, in this round, the university had allowed candidates from the first and second allotment rounds to reorder their college and course preferences. The upgradation window remained open between August 2 and 3.
A total of 34,069 candidates chose to apply for an upgrade, while 35,889 candidates opted to freeze their earlier allotments. Based on these requests, 5,930 students successfully received an upgraded seat as per their higher preferences.
Candidates who received allotments in this round are required to accept the allocated seat and complete the fee payment process by August 7. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the allotted seat. The process of document verification and fee submission is being handled by individual colleges.
Following the closure of this round, the university will release a list of vacant seats on August 8. This will mark the opening of the Mid-Entry window, which is scheduled to begin at 5 PM on August 8 and will close at 4:59 PM on August 10.
The Mid-Entry provision allows candidates who did not apply earlier through CSAS, or who failed to complete Phase 2 of the application, to participate in the admission process.
It also gives an opportunity to students whose applications were rejected in earlier rounds due to errors in subject mapping or invalid documents. Such candidates can re-enter the system by paying a non-refundable fee of Rs 1,000 and updating their preferences or correcting earlier mistakes during the window period.
After the Mid-Entry phase, the next list of seat allocations will be published on August 13. This round will include candidates from performance-based courses such as Music, BFA, and Physical Education, as well as seats reserved under CW (Children of War Widows), ECA (Extra-Curricular Activities), Sports, and Ward quotas. The first allocation list for these quotas is scheduled for release on August 15.
The final date for completing the entire undergraduate admission process has been set as August 19, after which no new admissions will be processed. Notably, Delhi University has already started its academic session from August 1, 2025, aligning its calendar with the University Grants Commission's (UGC) guidelines.
