DU UG Admission 2026: CSAS information brochure out; CUET subject rules unchanged

The University of Delhi has announced the undergraduate (UG) admission policy for the academic year 2026-27 through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG 2026). The DU UG information brochure 2026 has been uploaded on the Common Seat Allocation System (UG) portal, admission.uod.ac.in, today.

It is mandatory for candidates to appear in CUET UG 2026 in those subjects they have studied in Class 12, as per the eligibility criteria. There is no major change introduced in this year’s DU UG admission process.

Even though the University Grants Commission relaxed the norms and allowed students to appear for subjects that they have not studied in Class 12, the DU has retained its admission criteria limiting students from appearing in subjects they have not opted in their senior secondary education.

DU CUET UG subject list 2026

The list of subject combinations in DU List A and B remains the same as last year. The university has 91 colleges, 86 departments, 16 faculties, and over 6.5 lakh students. DU teachers have been opposing the adoption of CUET, which has significantly impacted the academic calendar and delayed subsequent processes for years since its inception.

Five subjects – legal studies, engineering graphics, teacher training, entrepreneurship, and knowledge tradition and practices of India – were removed from DU List B last year. There are 14 languages in List A and 22 subjects in List B.
