Delhi University has officially released the schedule for the second round of undergraduate admissions for the 2024-25 academic year, following the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) process. The university’s announcement provides detailed timelines and important information for candidates participating in the admission process.
Key dates for round 2
The upgrade window for candidates who have been admitted in the first and second rounds will be open from 5 pm (IST) on August 31 until 5 pm (IST) on September 1. During this period, students can opt to upgrade to a higher preference, which allows them to re-order their chosen program and college combinations to reflect their updated priorities.
Candidates who receive an upgraded seat will see their allocation processed directly at the college level. However, final admission will only be confirmed once any differential fees are cleared. The updated seat allocations will be announced by the university on September 3 at 5 pm (IST), and students will have until September 4 to accept their new seats. The final deadline for the payment of full admission fees is September 6, by 5 pm (IST).
Mid-entry window
For candidates who missed earlier phases of the CSAS (UG) 2024, a mid-entry window offers a chance to apply. This period runs from September 7 at 5 pm (IST) until September 9 at 5 pm (IST). Candidates wishing to utilize this window must pay a non-refundable fee of Rs 1,000. This opportunity is particularly useful for those whose previous applications were rejected due to incorrect subject mapping or failure to meet program-specific eligibility requirements. The mid-entry period allows these candidates to correct their preferences and reapply.

The results for the third round of allocations will be declared on September 11 at 5 pm (IST). Candidates must accept their allocated seats by 5 pm (IST) on September 13, 2024. Following this, colleges will verify the applications by September 14 at 5 pm (IST). Candidates must clear their fee payments for third-round admissions by September 15, 5 pm (IST).

The university will also release the list of vacant seats on September 5 at 5 pm (IST), providing candidates an opportunity to assess available options before finalizing their preferences for the third round.
