Delhi University (DU) has opened the mid-entry admission window for undergraduate aspirants under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) 2025, giving students another chance to secure a seat in one of India’s most sought-after universities. The window will be available from August 8, 5:00 PM to August 10, 4:59 PM.
This opportunity is aimed at two groups of students:
- Those who could not apply in earlier CSAS rounds due to missed deadlines or unforeseen circumstances.
- Those who applied earlier but want to edit or reorder their programme and college preferences.
How the DU UG Mid-Entry Works
The mid-entry allows fresh applicants to register by paying a non-refundable fee of ₹1,000. Candidates already in the system can log in and make changes to their preference list. This is particularly helpful for those who may have chosen too few courses or wish to include newly considered options.
Once the window closes, the system locks all submitted preferences, and the next round of seat allocation proceeds based on merit, category, seat availability, and preference order.

Why This Mid-Entry Round Matters
By the end of Round 2, DU had filled over 71,000 UG seats across its 79 undergraduate courses in 69 affiliated colleges. Popular programmes in colleges like Hindu College, Miranda House, and SRCC saw near-complete occupancy.
However, seats remain open in certain combinations and colleges, particularly in courses like:
- BA Programme with specific subject pairs
- Science streams in evening colleges
- Vocational and language courses
For many students, this mid-entry window is a final lifeline to enter DU before the admission cycle concludes.
How to Apply for DU UG Mid-Entry 2025
- Visit the CSAS portal on DU’s official website.
- For new applicants, complete the CSAS registration form and pay the ₹1,000 mid-entry fee.
- For existing applicants, log in and edit your preferences — add or reorder courses and colleges as per your strategy.
- Double-check entries before the deadline, as no further changes will be allowed after August 10.
Tips for Maximizing Your Chances
- List more preferences to widen your scope — limiting choices may reduce your chances of allocation.
- Prioritize courses and colleges where cut-offs have historically been within your score range.
- Include a mix of high-demand and moderately competitive options.
- Keep documents ready for verification, including Class 10 & 12 mark sheets, category certificates (if applicable), and photo ID.
The Road Ahead
After the mid-entry window closes, DU will announce Round 3 seat allotments on August 13. This round will see candidates accepting seats, completing verification, and paying fees by August 19. Depending on vacancy, further rounds or spot admissions may follow, but these are less predictable and highly competitive.
For students still hoping to join Delhi University in 2025, this mid-entry phase is not just another round — it’s the most strategic opportunity left to enter India’s premier higher education ecosystem.
