The Delhi University (DU) has announced the second round of undergraduate seat allocations online continuing its centralized admission process under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) for the academic session of 2025-26.
The forthcoming list is anticipated to show considerable internal reshuffling, as over 43,000 candidates have chosen to upgrade their seats following the initial round of admissions.
As per DU officials, the second list will include these preferences along with new seat vacancies, allowing thousands of students to transition to different colleges or programs based on merit and availability.
Previously, DU allocated 93,166 seats against 71,624 undergraduate seats across 69 colleges and 79 programs. Currently, 62,565 candidates have confirmed their admissions.
While 16,126 candidates have opted to freeze their seats, a significant majority — 43,741 — have selected upgrades. These students are now awaiting the second round, hoping for movement to their desired colleges or programs.
The upgrade and reordering window for this round will remain open until 4:59 pm on July 25. Candidates can also view the latest list of vacant seats on DU’s admission portal.
The CSAS-UG process utilizes CUET-UG scores along with preferences for colleges and programs, category reservations, and other eligibility criteria for seat allocations. Seats have been distributed across various categories, including Unreserved, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PwBD, Kashmiri Migrants, Sikh Minority, Single Girl Child, and Orphan.
In addition, performance-based courses such as Hindustani Music, Karnataka Music, Percussion Music, Physical Education, and Fine Arts will have allocations in the third round. Candidates interested in these programs are encouraged to check college-specific websites for trial schedules.
The academic session for first-year students is set to begin on August 1.
In the meantime, as the new academic year at Delhi University is scheduled to commence on August 1, faculty members have expressed concerns regarding unresolved syllabus matters pertaining to certain postgraduate courses and the newly implemented fourth-year undergraduate programme (FYUP). There has been no immediate response from the university regarding these allegations.
This will mark the inaugural cohort of students entering the fourth year under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), which is part of the National Education Policy (NEP).
Nevertheless, educators assert that they are still waiting for clarification on the final syllabus, even though the proposals were sanctioned during Executive Council meetings conducted on May 23 and July 12.
