Delhi University's new academic session began on Tuesday (July 28, 2026), with colleges welcoming freshers with orientation and induction programmes. Several colleges will organise department-wise orientation sessions to introduce the new students to campus life, academic procedures and student support services. Common induction programmes are scheduled later this week, even as the undergraduate admission process continues.
The second round of admissions under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) is currently underway, with thousands of candidates accepting newly allotted or upgraded seats. Colleges are continuing to verify applications and process admissions, while students have been advised to complete fee payment promptly to ensure a smooth start to the academic session. In the second round, the university had extended the deadline for candidates to accept their allotted seats until 11.59 p.m. on Monday (July 27, 2026).
Colleges can verify and approve applications until 11.59 p.m. on Tuesday (July 28, 2026), and the last date for the payment of admission fees is 11.59 p.m. on Wednesday (July 29, 2026). In the first round, the university confirmed the admission of 63,756 candidates. The first allocation list offered seats to 93,033 candidates against more than 71,000 seats across 221 programmes in 67 colleges.
The allocations were made from among over 2.08 lakh candidates who completed Phase II of the CSAS admission process by submitting their programme and college preferences.
