In a significant development for aspiring postgraduate and engineering students, Delhi University (DU) has extended the registration deadline for its Postgraduate (PG) and Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programs for the academic session 2025–26 to June 9, 2025, 11:59 PM.
The extension is applicable to all PG programs across DU’s affiliated departments and colleges, as well as to the three BTech courses offered by the Faculty of Technology. This move comes amid increasing concerns from students facing delays in document acquisition and issues while uploading forms on the admission portal.
What This Means for Aspirants
For thousands of candidates across India eyeing a seat at Delhi University—one of the country’s most prestigious institutions—this final deadline extension offers much-needed breathing room.
The university has explicitly clarified that no further extensions will be granted, and students should treat this as their last opportunity to register.
Postgraduate Admissions: What You Should Know
DU’s PG admissions are conducted through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS PG) via the official portal pgadmission.uod.ac.in. This centralized system facilitates seamless application processing and seat allocation.
Key highlights:
- Over 13,600 PG seats are available across 82 programs including MA, MSc, MCom, and interdisciplinary courses.
- Admissions are primarily based on CUET-PG 2025 scores.
- Candidates applying under supernumerary quotas—including sports, extracurricular, and Persons with Disabilities (PwD)—must submit additional forms with relevant certificates.
Students are required to select their preferred colleges and courses in order of priority. After the result of CUET-PG is declared, the seat allocation process will begin based on merit and reservation norms.
BTech Admissions: High Demand, Limited Seats
Delhi University’s Faculty of Technology, established recently to strengthen DU’s science and engineering offerings, is offering three BTech programs for the 2025–26 session:
- Computer Science and Engineering
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
These are high-demand streams, and admissions are based on JEE Main 2025 scores, not CUET. The portal for registration is engineering.uod.ac.in.
- A total of 360 seats are available across the three BTech programs.
- Seat distribution follows reservation norms as per central government rules.
- Candidates must upload their JEE Main scorecard, class 12 mark sheets, and relevant reservation certificates (if applicable).
Correction Window Details
To avoid penalizing applicants for minor errors, DU will open a correction window from June 10 to June 12, 2025. During this time, students can edit specific sections of their application such as category, course preferences, or uploaded documents.
However, not all fields will be open for editing—personal details like name and date of birth will remain locked unless verified via document discrepancy requests.
Why the Extension Was Announced
The university received multiple requests from candidates citing issues such as:
- Non-availability of final-year mark sheets or provisional degrees.
- Payment failures on the portal.
- Server slowdowns during peak hours.
- Delays in obtaining caste or disability certificates.
In light of these concerns, DU took a student-friendly approach by extending the deadline, while also making it clear that the admission calendar cannot be stretched indefinitely.
“The university is committed to ensuring equal access for all aspirants, and this extension should accommodate those who genuinely needed more time,” said a DU official on condition of anonymity.
The Admission Calendar Ahead
After June 9, the university will begin processing applications, followed by:
- Verification of documents
- Display of simulated merit lists
- Opening of the correction window (June 10–12)
- Final seat allocation rounds based on entrance test scores and reservation categories
Colleges will start their academic sessions soon after seat allocation is complete.
Important Advice for Applicants
With only days left before the revised deadline, students are strongly advised to:
- Keep scanned versions of required documents ready (in correct formats).
- Double-check eligibility criteria for specific courses.
- Avoid submitting forms at the last minute to bypass server overload.
- Monitor official DU websites and email for updates.
“Please do not wait until the final day. Submit your application and documents well in advance. We will not be able to entertain any grievances post-deadline,” the university stated in its latest circular.
A Critical Window Before Doors Close
This final extension is a crucial opportunity for students who dream of pursuing higher education at DU. With limited seats and strong competition, timely and accurate application submission can make all the difference.
