Delhi University has taken an important step toward the upcoming academic session by releasing the official admission brochure for DU Admissions 2026. The brochure serves as a comprehensive guide for students seeking undergraduate admission to one of India's most prestigious universities. With lakhs of applicants expected this year, the document aims to bring clarity and transparency to the admission process.
In the newly published brochure, Delhi University has confirmed that the CUET UG related admission framework will continue without any major modifications. The Common University Entrance Test conducted by the National Testing Agency will remain the primary mode of evaluation for admission to most undergraduate courses. The university has retained the same subject mapping and scoring criteria that were followed in earlier admission cycles.
One of the key eligibility conditions mentioned in the brochure states that candidates must have completed and passed their Class 12 examination or an equivalent qualification from a single recognized board. This means students who have combined results from multiple boards or unrecognized institutions will not be considered eligible. The rule has been kept intact to maintain uniform academic standards among all applicants.
The admission brochure also highlights several other important aspects. It provides complete information on the wide range of undergraduate programs offered across arts science commerce engineering and vocational streams. Each course section clearly specifies the required CUET subjects the minimum qualifying marks and the method used for preparing merit lists.

The brochure outlines the step by step procedure that students must follow after appearing for CUET UG. Candidates will be required to register on the official DU admission portal fill in their course preferences upload necessary certificates and participate in centralized counseling rounds. The final selection will be based on CUET scores program specific requirements and availability of seats.
Important instructions regarding document verification fee payment and grievance redressal mechanisms have also been included. Delhi University emphasized that all admissions will be carried out only through the online system and there will be no offline applications. The university has warned students against relying on middlemen or unofficial agents for securing seats.
Experts in the education sector believe that keeping CUET UG rules unchanged will benefit students by reducing confusion and allowing better preparation.
