Delhi University Admissions 2025: What’s New for UG, PG, Law, BTech & SOL Applicants

The University of Delhi (DU), one of India’s most sought-after academic institutions, has kicked off its 2025 admissions cycle with several significant updates. From the introduction of the CSAS portal for undergraduate courses to a new integrated law programme, DU’s reforms aim to simplify the application process, enhance transparency, and align with national testing standards, such as CUET and CLAT.

In this blog, we guide you through all the key updates for undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), B.Tech, law, and School of Open Learning (SOL) admissions at the University of Delhi.

1. CSAS Portal for Undergraduate (UG) Admissions

For the 2025–26 academic session, DU has launched the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for 71,624 UG seats across 79 affiliated colleges. Students must register on the portal at admission.uod.ac.in.

The CSAS portal will operate in two phases:

Phase 1: Application Submission

• Submit personal and academic details, including CUET-UG roll number and Class 12 marks.
• Upload supporting documents and certificates.
• Programme preferences are not selected in this phase.
   

Fees:

• General/OBC: ₹250
• SC/ST/PwD: ₹100
• Additional Fees: ₹100 for ECA/Sports; ₹400 for performance/practical-based programmes
   

Phase 2: College and Programme Preferences

• Subject Mapping: Match CUET subjects with Class 12 subjects.
• Check Eligibility: DU’s portal will show eligibility based on CUET score and mapped subjects.
• Preference Selection: Choose and rank programme-college combinations.
• Final Locking: Preferences must be locked before the deadline; otherwise, they’ll auto-lock.
   

💡 Tip: The order of preferences directly impacts seat allocation priority.

2. Class 10 Marks Now Required for Tie-Breaking

A new addition this year is the inclusion of Class 10 marks in the CSAS form, which DU will use for tie-breaking when two candidates have identical CUET and eligibility scores. Make sure your Class 10 scorecard is ready at the time of registration.

3. Subject Changes in CUET for 2025

DU has revised its domain-specific subject list for CUET-based admissions:

• Removed Subjects: Engineering Graphics and Entrepreneurship
  Students must now only select subjects studied in Class 12 or their closest CUET equivalent. Choosing unrelated subjects may result in disqualification.
   

4. PG Admissions: First Seat Allotment Released

The first PG seat allotment will be released on June 18 at 5 PM via pgadmission.uod.ac.in. The list is based on scores from CUET PG 2025.

There will be:

• Two regular counselling rounds

Special Quotas from Round 1:

5. DU Launches Integrated Law Programme

In a landmark move, DU has introduced an Integrated Law Programme in its history.

Key Points:

This adds a fresh dimension to DU’s academic portfolio, offering a robust path for students aiming for careers in law right after Class 12.

• Application Dates: June 11 to September 15, 2025

For LIS and PGDADLM courses, the application window remains open until September 15.

This route offers flexible higher education for working professionals, distance learners, and those not taking CUET.

8. Admission Alerts and Timeline Optimisation

To improve transparency and reduce delays, DU will:

• Send notifications and alerts via registered email IDs
• Streamline counselling to complete it in the shortest time possible

These changes reflect DU’s focus on a digital-first, student-centric approach to admissions.
