NEW DELHI: Delhi University on Saturday released the first seat allocation list for undergraduate admissions for the 2025-26 academic session, kicking off the final phase of the Common Seat Allocation System for UG (CSAS-UG). The list, released at 5 pm on July 19, shows a total of 93,166 seat allocations against 71,624 UG seats offered across 79 programmes in 69 colleges. The excess allocation, a DU official said, was based on previous trends where students often shuffle seats between colleges. The allocations span multiple categories, including Unreserved (UR), OBC, EWS, SC, ST, Sikh minorities, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), Kashmiri Migrants, single girl child and orphan (male and female) categories.SEE FULL LIST HERE This year, DU is offering 71,624 seats in programmes ranging from honours to multidisciplinary courses across humanities, sciences, commerce and performing arts.
