New Delhi: Delhi University has admitted 63,756 students in the first round of undergraduate admissions under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), according to official data released on Wednesday.

Of the admitted candidates, 15,265 have opted to freeze their allotted seats, while 48,153 have chosen the upgrade option to be considered for a higher-preference programme or college in subsequent admission rounds.

The latest figures show an increase from the data released on July 21, when the university had reported that 61,932 candidates had confirmed their admissions after paying the requisite fees before the first-round payment deadline.

Earlier, more than 81,900 candidates had accepted the undergraduate seats allotted to them in the first round, reflecting strong participation in the admission process.

The first allocation list, released last week, offered seats to 93,033 candidates against over 71,000 undergraduate seats available across 221 programmes in 67 colleges for the 2026-27 academic session.

The allotments were made from among more than 2.08 lakh candidates who completed the second phase of the admission process by submitting their programme and college preferences.

Candidates opting for the upgrade option will be considered for higher-preference choices in the second round, while those who have frozen their seats will retain their current allotment.

Delhi University is scheduled to release the second allocation list on July 25, and the new academic session will commence on July 28.
