Securing a seat at Delhi University depends heavily on how you navigate the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal. A high CUET score is only effective if your CSAS registration and document uploads are flawless. As DU opens its UG admission phases, organizing your paperwork and understanding the portal’s requirements must be your absolute priority.
[12 Aug 2026, 12:50 PM IST] Delhi University has issued a revised Round I schedule for the CW, ECA and Sports supernumerary quotas under CSAS (UG) 2026-27, in a public notice dated 10.08.2026. Round I of ECA and Sports was declared on Monday 10 August and Round I of CW on Tuesday 11 August. In both cases the window to “Accept” the allocated seat closes at 4:59 PM on Thursday, 13 August 2026. The college, department or centre then has until 4:59 PM on Friday, 14 August to verify and approve the online application, and the last date for a candidate to pay the fee online is 4:59 PM on Saturday, 15 August 2026. The notice adds that the University may announce further rounds if seats remain vacant. Read from the official notice image on the DU admission portal (the PDF has no text layer).

>Understanding the CSAS Registration Phase
The CSAS process typically operates in multiple phases. Phase 1 is purely about registration and entering your personal and academic details. You will map your CUET application number to the DU portal, allowing DU to fetch your verified scores directly from the NTA.
During this phase, you must pay a non-refundable CSAS application fee. Ensure all personal details match your CUET application exactly to avoid integration errors between the two databases.
Crucial Document Requirements
Your document scans must be legible. A blurred marksheet or a cut-off signature can result in query generation or outright rejection. Your Class 10 certificate serves as the primary proof of your date of birth, while the Class 12 marksheet verifies your basic academic eligibility.
If you are applying under a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/Minority), the name on your certificate must match the name on your school records. For OBC-NCL and EWS candidates, the certificate must strictly adhere to the central format and the issue date specified in the DU bulletin.
Extracurricular (ECA) and Sports Quota Claims
If you intend to apply via the ECA or Sports supernumerary quotas, you must declare this during the initial CSAS registration phase. You cannot add this claim later.
You will need to upload specific, self-attested certificates detailing your highest achievements. These certificates will be rigorously evaluated by university committees, so ensure you only upload authentic documents.
Monitoring the Official Portal
Avoid relying on unverified social media forwards regarding CSAS deadlines. The university manages hundreds of thousands of applications, and deadlines are rarely extended.
Check the main DU admission portal daily. Once Phase 1 registration is complete, the portal will transition into the preference-filling phase, where your strategy will determine your college allotment.
FAQs
Can I edit my CSAS form after paying the registration fee?
Generally, core details linked to your CUET profile cannot be edited. DU sometimes provides a brief correction window for specific fields, but you should aim for accuracy on your first submission.
What if my OBC-NCL certificate is from last year?
DU strict rules require OBC-NCL and EWS certificates to be issued after March 31 of the admission year. Using an outdated certificate will usually result in conversion to the unreserved category.
Do I need to submit physical documents to the colleges now?
No. The initial CSAS registration and document verification are completely online. Physical verification happens only after seat allocation and fee payment.
