DU CSAS Round 1 Seat Allocation List 2026: Dates and Steps to Check

If you applied for Delhi University this year, today is a big day. The DU CSAS Round 1 Seat Allocation List 2026 goes live at 5:00 PM, and it decides which college and course you get to call your own for the next few years. No pressure, right?

Here is everything you need to know before you refresh your dashboard for the tenth time in a row.

What Happens Today

The first allocation list will appear on the official DU UG Admission Portal at 5:00 PM. To check your result, you need your CUET UG 2026 Application Number and password. Keep these handy, because you do not want to be that person frantically searching for a password while your friends are already celebrating their college allotment.

Key Dates You Cannot Miss

Event	Date and Time
Declaration of First Allocation List	July 16, 2026 (5:00 PM)
Seat Acceptance Window	July 16, 2026 (5:00 PM) to July 18, 2026 (11:59 PM)

Mark these on your calendar, set reminders, tell your parents, tell your dog. Missing a deadline here means losing your seat in the counselling process, and nobody wants that kind of drama.

How to Check Your Allotment

The process is simple and takes just a few minutes:

Visit the official DU UG Admission Portal.
Click on the Candidate Login option.
Enter your CUET UG 2026 Application Number and password.
Fill in the security captcha code.
Click on Login.
Open the "First Round Allotment Status" link on your dashboard.
View your allotted college and programme combination.

Once you see your result, download or save it right away. Screenshots exist for a reason, and this is one of those reasons.

What to Do After You Get Your Seat

Getting allotted a seat is only step one. Here is what comes next:

Select the "Accept Allotted Seat" option before July 18, 2026, 11:59 PM. Miss this, and you are out of the counselling process, no second chances.
Once you accept, your college reviews your uploaded documents and certificates. Keep checking your dashboard for any messages asking for clarification.
After the college approves your admission, you get access to the online fee payment facility. Pay before July 21, 2026, to lock in your provisional admission.

The Numbers Behind This Year's Admissions

This year, DU recorded its highest ever registration turnout since the CSAS portal started in 2022.

Admission Details	Number
Total Initial Registrations	2,73,751 candidates
Completed Phase I Profiles	2,18,284 applicants
Locked Programme and College Preferences	2,08,043 applicants
Available Undergraduate Seats	71,624 seats
Participating Colleges and Departments	69
Undergraduate Degree Programmes Offered	73

Do the math and you get roughly three candidates fighting for every single seat. That is the kind of competition that makes a cricket World Cup final look relaxed.

On the gender front, female applicants made up about 55.2% of the 2,18,284 candidates who completed Phase I registration, while male applicants stood at 44.8%. So if you are wondering who is more serious about getting into DU this year, the numbers have an answer.

Cutoffs for the Big Names

If you have your eyes on North Campus colleges, here is what the simulated ranking data suggests for safe cutoffs:

College	Projected CUET Safe Cutoff Range
Miranda House	924 to 927 marks
Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC)	916 to 918 marks
Hindu College	913 to 915 marks

These numbers are not official cutoffs, just projections based on simulated data. Still, they give you a fair idea of how tough the race is for these colleges.

With more than 150 B.A. Programme combinations and 73 degree programmes across 69 colleges, DU offers plenty of choices. So even if your first preference does not work out today, there is a whole second round coming up on July 25 to try again.
