In a major development for undergraduate aspirants across the country, the University of Delhi (DU) has officially opened the application portal for Spot Round 1 under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS UG 2026). According to the latest notification released by the university administration, a total of 13,433 seats remain vacant across 67 affiliated colleges for the 2026–27 academic session.

Eligible candidates who have not yet secured a seat in any regular allocation round can apply online through the official admission portal at admission.uod.ac.in. The application window will remain open until August 24, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

Key Breakdown of 13,433 Vacant Seats

The university published a detailed category-wise list of remaining seats across various Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), and Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) programs.

• Unreserved (UR): 2,113 seats

• Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL): 4,133 seats

• Scheduled Caste (SC): 2,038 seats

• Scheduled Tribe (ST): 2,476 seats

• Economically Weaker Section (EWS): 1,791 seats

• Minority Seats: 316 seats for Christian applicants and 566 seats for Sikh applicants

DU officials noted that while this snapshot reflects the status recorded on August 23, exact availability may slightly adjust due to administrative reconciliations or grievance redressals. Furthermore, withdrawals are strictly suspended during the Spot Admission phase.

Who is Eligible to Apply?

The university has laid down clear guidelines regarding candidate eligibility for Spot Round 1:

• Registered Applicants: Candidates must be previously registered for CSAS (UG) 2026 and possess valid CUET UG scores.

• No Active Seat: Candidates must not hold an admitted seat in any DU college as of August 22, 2026.

• No Option to Upgrade: Unlike regular allocation rounds, candidates cannot opt for upgrade or withdrawal once a seat is allocated. Accepting the allotted seat is mandatory; failing to do so will result in forfeiture of eligibility for future rounds.

How to Apply via the CSAS Dashboard

Applicants can complete their choices by following these simple steps:

1. Log In: Go to admission.uod.ac.in and log in using your CSAS UG credentials.

2. Check Availability: Download the “Vacant Seats for Spot Round-I” PDF to see which combinations are available for your specific category.

3. Select Options: Click on ‘Spot Admission’ on your dashboard. You can only pick college and program combinations where seats are listed as vacant for your category.

4. Submit Preferences: Save and submit your choices before the 11:59 PM deadline on August 24.

Expert Tips for Applicants

Admission experts recommend that students analyze vacant seats carefully before choosing options. Because seat acceptance in the spot round is binding, you should only select programs and colleges you are genuinely ready to join.

While top off-campus and evening colleges account for a sizeable portion of the remaining vacancies, several prominent campus colleges also have isolated openings in specialized honors and program streams. Applicants are advised not to leave their submissions to the final hour to avoid potential server congestion.
