New Delhi: The University of Delhi announced significant admission updates on Sunday for the 2026-27 academic session, introducing a landmark shift by launching registrations for its newly minted one-year postgraduate programmes. This exclusive fast-track option is specifically designed for students who have successfully completed a four-year undergraduate degree under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022, structured around the National Education Policy 2020. Admission into these accelerated programmes will be determined entirely by the merit secured during the applicant’s four-year bachelor’s degree, provided they meet the specific eligibility criteria for their chosen field.
Alongside the new postgraduate pathways, the university has formally invited applications for its highly specialized two-year MSc in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology for the 2026-28 batch. This particular programme is open to candidates who have successfully qualified the GAT-B 2026 examination. In parallel, professional tracks are also moving forward swiftly, with the university declaring the second allocation list for B Tech admissions and giving selected students until July 8 to accept their seats. Furthermore, the application window for the First Spot Round of the Five-Year Integrated Law programmes has opened, allowing eligible candidates to apply until July 7.
The ongoing undergraduate and standard two-year postgraduate admission cycles are seeing massive participation, marking a busy phase for the university’s administrative counseling. For the standard undergraduate admissions, DU has already recorded 148,407 applications, with 62,524 candidates successfully finalizing Phase II of the process. Undergraduate aspirants have been strongly advised to submit their college and course preferences before the rapidly approaching deadline on July 11. Meanwhile, regular two-year postgraduate admissions have crossed the 9,500 mark. The current entry window for general postgraduate admission closes tonight, paving the way for the third allocation list—which will feature performance-based programmes like music, MFA, BPEd, and MPEd—to be released on July 9.
