The University of Delhi will begin the second phase of its undergraduate admissions for the academic year 2025, under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) on July 8. As per an official press release, candidates who have already completed the first phase of the process are required to log in at ugadmission.uod.ac.in to select their preferred combinations of programmes and colleges.
The window for filling preferences will remain open until 11:59 pm on July 14. After this deadline, preferences will be automatically locked. The university has also allowed fresh candidates to register, keeping both Phase-I and Phase-II open until July 14. Applicants have been advised to carefully prioritize their preferences while submitting them.
In addition, a one-time correction facility has been introduced for those who have completed Phase-I. This correction window will be available from Sunday until 11:59 pm on July 11, enabling candidates to edit their application forms. However, changes must be made in a single submission as the form cannot be reopened once submitted.
Simulated ranks will be released at 5 pm on July 15, after which a preference-editing window will be accessible until 11:59 pm on July 16. The first allocation list under CSAS will be published on July 19 at 5 pm.
Candidates allotted a seat in the first round must accept it by 4:59 pm on July 21, followed by verification and approval by colleges up to July 22. The fee payment deadline for the first round is July 23.
Details of vacant seats will be published on July 24, and students will be able to reorder their preferences until July 25. The second allocation list is scheduled for release at 5 pm on July 28. Candidates can accept their seats by 4:59 pm on July 30, with colleges completing approvals by July 31, and fee submissions closing on August 1.
The university has advised students to frequently visit the official admission portal, admission.uod.ac.in, for further updates. Additional rounds of seat allocation may be conducted if vacancies persist. The new academic session is slated to commence on August 1.

This year, the university is offering 71,624 undergraduate seats across 79 programmes in 69 affiliated colleges. To make the admissions process more flexible, DU has revised its subject combination criteria — students can now qualify with either one language and three subjects or two languages and two subjects, and the combination yielding the highest CUET score will be considered. The university has also done away with the earlier requirement of securing a minimum of 30% in the CUET language paper for BSc (Honours) courses.
A new ‘auto-accept’ feature has been added to prevent candidates from unintentionally losing their allotted seats due to delayed acceptance on the portal.
Officials noted that the CUET-UG framework has widened the university’s applicant pool, attracting more students from small towns and varied educational boards, thus promoting greater inclusivity. The CUET-UG 2025 witnessed a record 13.5 lakh applications, with English emerging as the most preferred subject (8.14 lakh), followed by the General Test (6.59 lakh) and Chemistry (5.7 lakh).
