Who Can Apply
You are eligible to register only if all three conditions are met:
- You appeared in CUET PG 2026, conducted by NTA from 6 to 30 March 2026.
- You satisfy the programme-specific eligibility criteria spelled out in DU’s PG Bulletin of Information 2026-27.
- You sat for the correct test paper code for your chosen programme — DU enforces strict paper-to-course mapping.
DU has emphasised on its portal: “admission to all PG Programs of UoD will be conducted solely on the basis of the Common University Entrance Test – Postgraduate 2026.” No backdoor merit list, no separate DU entrance test.
Step-by-Step Registration Walkthrough
Step 1 — Account Creation
Visit pgadmission.uod.ac.in and click “New Registration”. Create your account using your CUET PG application number and a fresh email + mobile (avoid reusing your parents’ contacts — verification OTPs will route here for two years).
Step 2 — Personal & Academic Details
Fill in: name (as per Class 10 certificate, not Aadhaar), DOB, category (UR/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS/PwD), bachelor’s degree details, marks of the last passed semester or final degree.
Step 3 — Document Upload
Every file must be under 1024 KB. Scan in 200 DPI greyscale:
- Recent passport photograph (max 1024 KB)
- Signature scan (max 1024 KB)
- Class 10 certificate (DOB proof)
- Class 12 mark sheet
- Bachelor’s degree / Provisional certificate
- All bachelor’s mark sheets
- Category certificate (if applicable)
- EWS / PwD / KM / CW certificates (if applicable)
- Work experience certificate (if claiming seat under sponsored category)
Step 4 — Programme & Test-Paper Selection
Add every programme you wish to apply for. For each programme, the portal auto-validates the correct CUET PG paper code — if mismatched, you are blocked. Pay the registration fee per programme (no bulk discount). Save the receipt.
Step 5 — Final Submission
Review the preview page line by line. Once submitted, you cannot edit category, name, or DOB — only the order of programme preferences and college preferences during later phases.
Fee Structure
DU’s registration fee is collected per programme via online payment (Debit/Credit/UPI/Net banking). Exact amounts vary by category — UR and OBC-NCL pay a higher slab; SC/ST/PwD pay a concessional slab. Keep the digital receipt — it is your only proof during preference-filling round disputes.
Common Rejection Causes
- Name mismatch: name on CUET PG application differs from Class 10 certificate. Always use Class 10 spelling.
- Wrong category certificate format: OBC-NCL must be on the central format (Annexure I), not the state-government format.
- Signature on plain white background failed: use blue ink on white paper, no shadows.
- Programme-paper mismatch: applying for MA Political Science without sitting for the dedicated POL paper.
- Self-attested documents missing the date: every self-attestation must carry a date alongside the signature.
Why Apply to Multiple Programmes
DU runs CUET PG admissions on a per-programme cut-off basis. A 95-percentile score in Economics may admit you to MA Economics at Delhi School of Economics but fall short at Hindu College for the same course. Apply to every realistic programme (and college via preference) where your CUET PG percentile falls within the prior-year cut-off ± 3 percentile points.

After Registration — What Comes Next
Phase 2 (preference filling) opens after registration closes on 7 June. You’ll rank colleges within each programme — this is the most consequential 30 minutes of your post-CUET-PG journey. Phase 3 (seat allocation rounds) begins late June. Spot-round allocations typically run through July, and final admissions close around mid-August.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I apply to DU PG without CUET PG 2026? No. CUET PG 2026 attempt is mandatory for every programme except Foreign National quotas and select diploma programmes outside CSAS.
Q: Is there a separate DU entrance test for any PG course? No — DU has fully transitioned all centralised PG admissions to CUET PG since 2022.
Q: What if I miss the 7 June deadline? DU has historically not extended the CSAS-PG window. Plan to register by 5 June at the latest to leave a 48-hour buffer.
Q: Can I edit my programme list after submission? No edits to programmes added are allowed after fee payment. You may add more programmes (with fresh fee) only until 7 June.
Q: Are SC/ST/PwD fees waived? No — DU charges a concessional registration fee per programme; full waivers are not applicable at the CSAS-PG stage.
