Changes to DU PG Admission Process; Spot Round 1 Deadline Extended

DU has made a significant change to the CSAS-PG process. The university has extended the deadline for Spot Round 1, providing relief to students whose application processes were pending at the departmental level.

DU PG Admission 2026: Delhi University has made a key change to the ongoing Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-PG) process for postgraduate admissions (2026-27). The university has extended the deadline for Spot Round 1, offering relief to students whose applications were pending verification at the departmental level. Additionally, the university has released the second-round mid-entry allocation list under the 'Children Window' (CW) quota.

A notice issued by the university states that some departments were unable to complete the processing of all applications within the stipulated timeframe. Consequently, the deadlines for application verification and fee payment have been extended to ensure that the admission of any eligible candidate is not adversely affected.

Revised Schedule for Spot Round 1 Released

According to the new schedule, departments can verify and approve online applications until 11:59 PM on August 7, 2026. Candidates who have been allocated a seat can pay the online admission fee until 11:59 PM on August 8, 2026. The university has advised students to regularly check for updates on the CSAS-PG portal and complete all formalities within the designated time.

Round-2 Mid-Entry Allocation List for CW Quota Released

DU has also released the second-round mid-entry allocation list for candidates under the 'Children Window' (CW) category for two-year PG programs. This list is available in PDF format on the university's official admission portal. Candidates whose names appear on the list must complete the processes of document verification, seat acceptance, and fee payment within the stipulated time, in accordance with university guidelines.

Who will benefit from this deadline extension?

This decision by the university will bring relief, particularly to students whose admission process could not be completed on time due to issues such as pending departmental approval, technical glitches, or banking-related problems. With the revised schedule, these candidates will now have additional time to complete their admission formalities.

How to pay the admission fee on the CSAS portal:

After a seat has been allocated, candidates should log in to the official Delhi University admission portal and access their CSAS-PG dashboard. If the application has been approved by the concerned department, the fee can be paid online via the 'Make Payment' option using net banking, a debit card, a credit card, or UPI. It is essential to download and preserve the payment receipt after the transaction is complete.
