Phase 1 registration for Delhi University’s 2026 undergraduate admissions opened on June 17, 2026 — but the actual seat allotment everyone’s waiting for depends entirely on the CUET UG 2026 result, which hasn’t been declared yet and is expected only in the first week of July. Understanding this gap between “registration open” and “results out” prevents a lot of unnecessary anxiety during this window.
CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) — Delhi University’s centralised admission portal for all undergraduate seats across its 91 affiliated colleges, covering roughly 70,000 seats competed for by approximately 20 lakh CUET UG candidates nationally. Admission is based entirely on CUET UG 2026 scores — board marks carry no weightage.

Quick Answer (Current Status as of June 21, 2026): Phase 1 (Registration): Open since June 17, 2026 — profile creation, document upload, registration fee payment CUET UG 2026 Result: Not yet declared — expected first week of July 2026 Phase 2 (Preference Filling): Opens only after CUET results are announced Registration Fee: ₹250 (General/OBC-NCL/EWS) | ₹100 (SC/ST/PwBD) Important: Registering on CSAS is mandatory even with a valid CUET score — qualifying CUET alone does not secure a seat
⭐ Three-Phase Process — Where Things Actually Stand Right Now
| Phase | What Happens | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Registration — profile creation, document upload, fee payment | ✅ Open now (since June 17, 2026) |
| Phase 2 | Preference filling — rank colleges/courses by priority | ⏳ Opens after CUET result (expected early July) |
| Phase 3 | Seat allotment, document verification, fee payment | ⏳ Follows Phase 2, multiple rounds |
You can — and should — complete Phase 1 now, even before your CUET result is out. Profile creation, document uploads, and fee payment can all be done in advance; only the actual college/course preference filling waits for results.

Step 1: Visit admission.uod.ac.in
Step 2: Click “New Registration”

After CUET Results — Phase 2 and 3
Phase 2 — Preference Filling (opens after results):
Step 1: Log in to your CSAS account
Step 2: Fill college/course preferences in order of actual priority — not based on what you think the cutoff will be
Step 3: Add as many eligible preferences as possible — more preferences genuinely improve allotment chances
Important strategic note: Rank colleges by your real preference, not by guessing cutoffs. If you don’t meet a higher-preference college’s cutoff, CSAS automatically considers your next preference — so listing reach colleges higher doesn’t cost you anything.
Phase 3 — Seat Allotment:
Step 1: Check your allotted seat on the dashboard
Step 2: Accept the seat within the stipulated time, or wait for upgradation in subsequent rounds if unsatisfied
Step 3: Complete document verification at your allotted college
Step 4: Pay the college admission fee to confirm your seat
Multiple allotment rounds occur until seats are filled, with vacant seat counts displayed before each round for transparency. In 2025, Round 1 General category cutoffs reached as high as 926/1000 for top programmes, dropping 10-25 marks by Round 3 — meaning later rounds genuinely offer real opportunities, not just leftovers.
⭐ 2026-Specific Changes Worth Knowing
BMS and BBA-FIA subject weightage revised for 2026 — the General Test and Mathematics components now carry higher importance in determining eligibility and seat allocation for these two specific programmes.
BTech admission (via JEE Main, not CUET) had a separate, earlier deadline of June 15, 2026 — if you’re applying for BTech specifically, this window has already closed; check directly with DU for any extension.
No home-state quota — DU is a central university; there is no domicile-based reservation for any UG seat, regardless of which state you’re from.
Exceptions — Programmes Not Requiring CUET
SOL (School of Open Learning) and NCWEB (Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board) programmes do not require a CUET score — these have separate admission processes specifically for distance education and non-collegiate women’s education respectively.
Common Problems + Fix
“Registered for CSAS but CUET result hasn’t come — is something wrong?”: No — this is expected. Phase 1 (registration) opens independently of results. Phase 2 (preference filling) only activates after CUET UG 2026 results are declared, expected first week of July 2026.
“Qualified CUET with a good score but worried about not getting a DU seat”: A valid CUET score alone doesn’t secure a seat — you must complete CSAS registration separately. If you’ve registered, you’re in the system; focus next on preference filling once results arrive.
“Confused whether to list reach colleges or ‘safe’ colleges higher”: List your genuine first choices first, regardless of expected cutoffs. CSAS automatically falls back to your next eligible preference if you don’t meet a higher one’s cutoff — there’s no downside to aiming high.
“Missed the June 15 BTech deadline”: This was a separate JEE Main-based process with its own earlier deadline. Check directly with DU for any extension or next steps if you missed it.
“Want admission to SOL or NCWEB — still need CUET?”: No — these specific programmes have their own separate admission process and don’t require a CUET score.
