You could say DU has handed a lifeline to PG hopefuls. The 2026-27 admissions window on the CSAS PG portal is now open until 4:59 PM on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. If you’re trying to make sense of your CUET PG score and the rest of the red tape, that extra time may well be what puts you in for the first allocation cycle.
What the extension means for applicants
According to the university, you have until 4:59 PM on June 9, 2026, to file your application on the CSAS PG site. Right after that, there is a correction window where you can make any necessary changes from 10:00 AM on June 10 through 4:59 PM on the 11th. It’s a good time to double-check your name, category, and the like. DU has made it clear that a close look at your entries will save you from hiccups when it comes to verification and paying up down the line. Here is what to put first: – Get registered on CSAS PG before the 9th (4:59 PM) – Let DigiLocker or API Setu do the work for you
– Make your edits between June 10 and 11 – See how your CUET PG 2026 scores map out – Be precise with fee category info
How admissions will be decided
All postgraduate admissions at DU will be channeled through the CSAS portal based on your CUET PG 2026 numbers. It’s the only way to keep things centralised and tied to merit, which takes the guesswork out of it for everyone involved. To make filling out forms a bit less of a chore, the university has set up auto-integration via DigiLocker and API Setu. The system will automatically bring in your personal details and CUET scores, so there’s less chance of a typo and the departments can verify you faster.
New one-year and two-year PG tracks
Following the NEP 2020, we are seeing some new one- and two-year master’s options. They are meant to give students a path that fits their background and research experience. If you are in your third or fourth year of an undergrad and have sat for the right CUET PG 2026 exams, you can put in for a two-year master’s. That’s a no-brainer for anyone who wants to move on to higher studies without a year off. Then there are the one-year programmes. These are for those with a four-year honours degree in research or entrepreneurship, or a four-year bachelor’s with a major. You’ll have to apply for these on a different portal; the university will let you know when it’s up and running.
Fees and immediate next steps
When it comes to the 2026 application fee, it’s Rs 250 per programme for General, OBC-NCL and EWS. For SC, ST and PwBD, it’s Rs 100. The word from DU is to be sure you have the right category selected so you don’t run into trouble with the audit or the payment.
Key dates to track
– When CSAS PG allocations are out: Monday, June 15, 2026 – To take your seat: June 15 to 17, 2026 (by 4:59 PM) – Verification and sign-off by depts: June 15 to 18, 2026 (by 4:59 PM) – Online fee payment ends: Friday, June 19, 2026, 4:59 PM Colleges will have a tighter schedule for verifying and closing out fees, so having your application in order is a must. As for you, if you let the June 9 date pass you by, you might be left to the later rounds with fewer choices of where to go. This isn’t just about having more days on the calendar. With the CUET PG 2026 as the bottom line and the DigiLocker integration, moving on this now is the best way to sidestep mistakes, hold on to your category perks and be in for the first-round cutoffs.
