Delhi University (DU) has launched its undergraduate admission portal for the academic year 2025-26, offering a total of 71,624 seats across its constituent colleges. With the new academic session approaching, the university has begun the admission process through its Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for candidates who have appeared for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2025.
The CSAS portal is now live, and interested students can register and apply for their preferred courses and colleges. DU's admission process continues to be aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) guidelines and aims to ensure a transparent and merit-based allocation of seats. The entire process will be conducted online, minimizing paperwork and offering ease of access for students across the country.

The number includes seats reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD), as per government norms.
