Delhi University Releases Updated PG Admission Schedule for 2026-27
Delhi University has announced a revised timeline for postgraduate admissions for the 2026-27 academic session. The updated schedule covers seat upgradation, mid-entry registration, application corrections, the third round of seat allocation, and several special quota categories including CW, sports, ward, and performance-based programs.
This new timeline is particularly relevant for candidates who wish to upgrade their allocated seats or make changes to their submitted application forms. Students are advised to monitor the official admission portal regularly and adhere strictly to all specified deadlines.
Seat Upgradation Window Now Open
The university has activated the upgradation window from 10:00 AM on June 30 until 4:59 PM on July 1. Candidates who accepted their seats and paid the required fees after the first or second allocation rounds can now choose between freezing their current seat or opting for an upgrade.
However, students who have already received their first-choice program or have previously selected the freeze option will not be eligible for further upgradation. Eligible candidates must make their selection within the designated timeframe to avoid missing this opportunity.
Mid-Entry Registration and Application Corrections
From July 2 to July 4, 2026, Delhi University will open both the mid-entry facility and the correction window. The mid-entry option is designed for students who missed the original CSAS (PG) 2026 application period. These candidates can participate in the admission process by paying a non-refundable fee of ₹1,000.
Meanwhile, already registered applicants can use this same period to make necessary corrections to their application forms. University officials emphasize that all modifications must be completed within this window, as no further revision opportunities will be provided afterward.

Key Considerations for Applicants
Candidates participating in the third round of allocation must complete their seat acceptance and fee payment within the specified dates. Those applying under CW, sports, or ward quota categories have a slightly different acceptance timeline and should pay close attention to the dates mentioned above.
Performance-based programs follow the same schedule as the third CSAS (PG) allotment, with results announced on July 6 and seat acceptance open until July 9. All verification processes conducted by departments, centres, and colleges must be finalized by the evening of July 9.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete all formalities well before the deadlines to avoid technical issues or last-minute complications. The university has made it clear that no extensions will be granted beyond the published cutoff times.
For candidates who have already secured admission in earlier rounds, the current upgradation window provides an opportunity to move to a preferred program if seats become available. Those satisfied with their current allocation can choose to freeze their seat, which ensures their position remains secure without further changes.
All communication regarding the admission process will be conducted through the official CSAS (PG) portal. Candidates should regularly check for updates and ensure their contact information is current to receive important notifications.
