Delhi University Opens Second PG Spot Round for 2026-27 Admissions
New Delhi, [Date of Publication] – The University of Delhi (DU) has officially released the schedule for the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) Postgraduate (PG) Spot Round 2, marking a crucial final opportunity for aspiring postgraduate students to secure admission for the 2026-27 academic session. Eligible candidates are urged to act swiftly as the application window opens today, August 14, 2026.
This announcement comes as a significant update for thousands of candidates who previously applied for DU CSAS PG 2026 but have yet to be admitted to their desired programs. The university has streamlined the application process, allowing eligible individuals to participate directly through their existing dashboards on the official admissions portal, admission.uod.ac.in.
Eligibility and Application Process
For those who have previously applied for DU CSAS PG 2026 but were unsuccessful in securing a seat, the pathway to Spot Round 2 is straightforward. Candidates simply need to log in to their dashboard and select the “Spot Round” option for the specific program they wish to be considered for. This ensures that the process is efficient and accessible for pre-registered applicants.
However, a critical caveat has been outlined by the university. Candidates who were offered a seat during Spot Round 1 but failed to accept the allocation or remit the required fee will be deemed ineligible to participate in Spot Round 2 for that particular program. This measure reinforces the importance of adhering to deadlines and commitments during the admissions cycle.
Key Dates and Deadlines: A Detailed Overview
The University of Delhi has provided a clear timeline for the second spot round, emphasizing the need for prompt action from applicants.

The display of vacant seats, which is crucial for candidates to make informed decisions, will commence on August 14, 2026, coinciding with the opening of the application window. This tight turnaround means prospective students must quickly identify available slots and submit their applications within the three-day window, concluding on August 16, 2026.
The much-anticipated declaration of seat allocations for Spot Round 2 is scheduled for August 19, 2026. Successful candidates will then have a limited window, from August 19 to August 20, 2026, until 4:59 PM, to formally accept their allotted seats. Following acceptance, the respective departments will undertake verification and approval processes, which will run from August 19 to August 22, 2026, also concluding at 4:59 PM.
The final step in securing admission is the online fee payment, which must be completed by August 23, 2026, at 4:59 PM. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the forfeiture of the allocated seat.
Important Note for Admitted Candidates
The university has also issued a significant directive for all candidates who have successfully secured admission through any round, including Spot Round 2. Their admission dashboards will remain in a "freeze mode." Crucially, no admitted candidate will be permitted to withdraw their admission after 11:59 PM on August 20, 2026. This policy aims to ensure stability in admissions and prevent last-minute vacancies that could disrupt the academic calendar.
Candidates are strongly advised to meticulously monitor their dashboards and complete each stage of the admission process within the stipulated deadlines. Missing any deadline could lead to the cancellation of their candidature, underscoring the importance of vigilance and prompt action.
This second spot round represents a final critical juncture for postgraduate aspirants hoping to join the prestigious University of Delhi. With a clear schedule and defined eligibility criteria, candidates are encouraged to seize this opportunity and secure their academic future.
