The DU CSAS PG 2026-27 registration portal opened on 16 May 2026 at pgadmission.uod.ac.in and the last date to submit your application is 7 June 2026. If you sat for CUET PG 2026 with a Delhi University programme on your wish list, this is the only window in which your candidature can be activated — Delhi University admits postgraduate students only via the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) PG portal, and registrations after 7 June 2026 will not be accepted. This guide walks you through eligibility, the three-phase admission process, document checklist, and the most common mistakes that derail PG applications.

Who Can Register? Eligibility Snapshot
For DU CSAS PG 2026-27 you must satisfy all three of the following:
- A valid CUET PG 2026 score in the subject(s) corresponding to your target PG programme.
- A recognised Bachelor’s degree in the subject specified by the Department’s eligibility list, with the minimum aggregate marks declared in the PG Bulletin of Information.
- For reserved-category candidates: a valid category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD) issued in the prescribed format.
Programme-wise eligibility nuances (e.g., honours requirement, allied-subject acceptance, language proficiency) are listed in the DU PG Bulletin of Information 2026-27 — read your target department’s row before you pay the registration fee.
The Three-Phase CSAS PG Admission Process
Phase 1: Registration
You create your CSAS PG account, enter personal and academic details, upload documents, and pay the registration fee. Once submitted, the basic profile section locks.
Phase 2: Programme & Choice Filling
After registration closes, the portal opens a separate programme-choice window. You preference-rank every PG programme-department combination you are eligible for. Order matters more than quantity — the algorithm allocates by your highest possible preference, not by how many you listed.
Phase 3: Seat Allocation
DU releases successive merit lists. If a seat is allotted at a higher preference, lower preferences are auto-removed. You then have a brief window to Accept and Pay, Upgrade (stay in the queue for higher preferences), or Decline. Read each option carefully — “Decline” terminates your candidature for the entire 2026-27 cycle.
Document Checklist (Scan Before You Log In)
- Passport-size colour photograph (recent, max 100 KB, JPG/JPEG).
- Signature scan (max 50 KB, JPG/JPEG).
- Class 10 marksheet + certificate.
- Class 12 marksheet + certificate.
- Bachelor’s degree marksheets (all semesters / all years) and provisional certificate.
- CUET PG 2026 scorecard.
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL central format/EWS/PwBD), if applicable.
- Government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar / Passport).
Every PDF should be under 1 MB unless the portal specifies a higher limit. Pre-name your files like 10thMarksheet_YourName.pdf so the portal upload is one drag-and-drop.
Fee Structure for Registration
The DU CSAS PG registration fee is non-refundable. Exact amounts are listed in the DU PG Bulletin of Information 2026-27 (the fee is typically tiered by category and roughly Rs. 250-500 for the registration step, with seat acceptance fees levied separately at the allotment stage).
Most Common Mistakes That Derail PG Admissions
- Filing only “dream” preferences. Listing 4 high-cut-off departments and skipping the realistic 8 means a “Not Allotted” result.
- Confusing CUET UG with CUET PG. DU PG admissions exclusively use the CUET PG scorecard.
- Late category certificate. A certificate dated after the registration closes will not be accepted.
- Uploading a low-resolution Bachelor’s marksheet. Verification officers reject blurry scans, leading to candidature freeze.
- Ignoring the Upgrade button. Always upgrade if your dream department is still on your active list — you can always retain the current seat.
