DU LLB 2027: CUET PG Registration Expected December, Eligibility, Cutoff and Counselling

DU LLB 2027 is the admission cycle for law programmes at the University of Delhi — the 3-year LLB programme through CUET PG 2027 and the 5-year integrated BA LLB and BBA LLB programmes through CLAT 2027. The 3-year LLB is one of the most competitive law admissions in India, with approximately 2,888 seats across three Delhi University law centres and tens of thousands of applicants each year. The 2027 cycle has not yet begun — CUET PG 2027 registration is expected in December 2026, giving you the time right now to prepare well ahead of the March 2027 exam window.

• CUET PG 2027 Registration: The CUET PG 2027 application window is expected to open in December 2026 — about 10 weeks from now. In 2026, registration opened on December 14, 2025. You must select the LLB paper (code: COQP11) during registration on the NTA portal at exams.nta.nic.in/CUET-PG.
• CUET PG 2027 Exam: NTA has announced CUET PG 2027 exam dates as March 1 to 25, 2027 (March 30–31 are buffer dates). The DU LLB paper will be held on one day within this window. In 2026, the LLB paper (COQP11) was held on March 8, 2026, Shift 3 (4:00 PM – 5:30 PM).
• DU LLB 2027 Cutoff: In 2025, Campus Law Centre Round 1 General category cutoff was 213 out of 300. Law Centre-II was 193 and Law Centre-I was 188. For 2027, cutoffs are expected in a similar or marginally higher range. Aim for 215+ for Campus Law Centre in the General category.
• DU LLB 2027 Counselling: DU’s CSAS PG counselling is expected to open in May–June 2027 at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Round 1 seat allotment for the 3-year LLB in 2026 was released on June 15, 2026. There are 2,888 seats — Campus Law Centre (962), Law Centre-I (963), and Law Centre-II (963).

What is DU LLB 2027?

DU LLB 2027 is the law admission process at the University of Delhi — one of the oldest and most prestigious central universities in India. Delhi University runs its law education through three Law Centres: Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II, all affiliated with the Faculty of Law. These centres are among the most competitive law schools in the country and have produced some of India’s leading legal professionals, judges, and constitutional lawyers.

Delhi University offers two distinct types of law programmes for the 2027 cycle:

• 3-Year LLB (Postgraduate Programme): Admission is through CUET PG 2027 scores. NTA conducts the LLB entrance paper (code: COQP11) in CBT mode. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree to apply. Total seats across the three Law Centres: 2,888. Counselling is through the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in.
• 5-Year Integrated LLB (BA LLB and BBA LLB): Admission is through CLAT 2027 scores. These are undergraduate programmes for Class 12 pass candidates. Total seats: 120 — 60 for BA LLB and 60 for BBA LLB.

This article focuses on the 3-year LLB programme. The 5-year BA LLB and BBA LLB programmes, while also offered by Delhi University, follow a separate admission process through CLAT and are not part of the CUET PG route.

How Many Students Apply for DU LLB?

The DU LLB (3-year) is one of the most sought-after law programmes in India. More than 2.5 lakh candidates appeared across all subjects in CUET PG 2026, and the LLB paper attracted heavy competition from candidates targeting DU and other participating universities including Banaras Hindu University and Central University of Haryana. Given approximately 2,888 seats for the 3-year LLB at Delhi University — and a competitive General category cutoff of 213/300 at Campus Law Centre in 2025 — the exam demands consistent, focused preparation.

DU LLB 2027 Important Dates

NTA has officially announced the CUET PG 2027 exam window as March 1–25, 2027. Registration is expected to open in December 2026, following the same pattern as 2026 (when registration opened December 14, 2025). All DU-specific dates — counselling, seat allotment rounds, and document verification — are estimated based on the 2026 cycle timeline.

CUET PG 2027 registration is expected in December 2026 — this is the first and most critical deadline for DU LLB 2027. Missing the NTA registration window means missing the entire 2027 cycle. Keep checking exams.nta.nic.in/CUET-PG for the official announcement.

DU LLB 2027 Eligibility Criteria

To apply for DU LLB 2027, you must meet both NTA’s CUET PG requirements and Delhi University’s specific admission conditions for the 3-year LLB programme. Eligibility is verified at the time of in-person document verification during counselling — candidates who do not meet the criteria have their admission cancelled even after a seat is allotted.

Eligibility for 3-Year LLB (via CUET PG 2027)

• You must have a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university
• General / OBC-NCL / EWS: Minimum 45% aggregate marks in the qualifying degree
• SC / ST / PwBD: Minimum 40% aggregate marks in the qualifying degree
• You must appear in CUET PG 2027 LLB paper (paper code: COQP11) conducted by NTA
• Final year students who will complete graduation before the start of the 2027-28 academic session can apply — admission is provisional until final marksheets are produced at document verification

Eligibility for 5-Year Integrated LLB (BA LLB and BBA LLB) via CLAT 2027

• Class 12 pass from a recognised board (CBSE, ISC, state boards, or equivalent)
• General / OBC-NCL / EWS: Minimum 45% marks in Class 12
• SC / ST / PwBD: Minimum 40% marks in Class 12
• Must have qualified CLAT 2027 and submitted the CLAT score to the DU UG admission portal

Age Limit

There is no upper age limit for DU LLB. The Supreme Court of India removed the age cap for LLB admissions. You can apply regardless of age as long as you have the required qualification.

Category-Wise Reservation at DU Law Centres

OBC-NCL candidates must hold a valid certificate from a competent authority confirming they do not belong to the Creamy Layer. All category certificates must be in the Government of India’s prescribed format and valid at the time of document verification.

DU LLB 2027 Application Process

The DU LLB 2027 application has two separate and mandatory stages. For the 3-year LLB, you first apply for CUET PG 2027 on the NTA portal, then separately register on the DU CSAS PG portal for counselling after results are declared. For the 5-year BA LLB and BBA LLB, the route is through CLAT 2027 and the DU UG admission portal.

Stage 1 — Register for CUET PG 2027 on the NTA Portal (December 2026)

1. Create Account: Visit exams.nta.nic.in/CUET-PG when registration opens in December 2026. Register with your mobile number and email ID to get your application number and password.
2. Fill Application Form: Enter your personal details, educational qualifications, and exam city preferences. Select the LLB paper with paper code COQP11. You cannot change the paper selection after submission.
3. Upload Photo and Signature: Upload scanned copies of your photograph and signature in the exact format and file size specified by NTA in the information bulletin.
4. Pay CUET PG Fee: Pay the application fee online using debit/credit card, net banking, or UPI. Your registration is confirmed only after successful payment.
5. Save Confirmation Page: Download and print the confirmation page — it contains your application number, which you will need for admit card download, result, and CSAS PG registration.

Stage 2 — Register on DU CSAS PG Portal for Counselling (May–June 2027)

1. Register on DU Portal: After CUET PG 2027 results, go to pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Register using your CUET PG application number and set a CSAS PG password.
2. Fill CSAS PG Application: Enter academic and personal details, upload scanned documents for digital pre-verification, and pay the CSAS PG registration fee.
3. Enter Law Centre Preferences: Select your preferred order of Law Centres — Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, Law Centre-II — and choose your applicable category. The order you fill determines which centre is considered first during allotment.
4. Await Seat Allotment: DU releases seat allotment in rounds. Your allotment depends on your CUET PG score, category, and the preference order you submitted.
5. Accept Seat and Pay Fee: If you receive an allotment, accept the seat online and pay the admission fee before the round deadline. Failing to pay cancels your allotted seat.
6. Document Verification: Report to the allotted Law Centre in person with all original documents on the specified date. This step is mandatory — digital upload alone does not complete admission.

Registering for CUET PG alone does not register you for DU counselling. Both stages are completely separate. You must complete the CSAS PG registration after results — otherwise you will not receive any seat allotment, regardless of how high your CUET PG score is.

CUET PG 2027 Application Fee

The CUET PG 2027 application fee is paid to NTA during registration. Delhi University also charges a separate registration fee when you register for CSAS PG counselling. Exact fee amounts for 2027 will be confirmed in the official NTA information bulletin, expected in December 2026.

The CUET PG fee above is based on the 2026 structure and may change for 2027. Additional fees apply for more than one paper or additional exam cities. The NTA CUET PG fee is non-refundable once paid.

DU LLB 2027 Syllabus

The DU LLB 2027 syllabus follows the CUET PG LLB paper (COQP11) as prescribed by NTA. It covers four broad areas: English Language, Analytical Abilities, General Knowledge, and Legal Awareness. NTA does not publish a chapter-wise question count distribution, but the key topics in each section are consistent across years. Legal Awareness is the most dynamic section — it includes very recent developments in Indian law.

• Vocabulary: Synonyms, Antonyms, Idioms and Phrases, One-Word Substitution, Contextual Word Meaning
• Verbal Ability: Para Jumbles, Sentence Completion, Sentence Correction, Cloze Tests

Analytical Abilities

• Analytical Reasoning — number and letter series, coding-decoding, blood relations, analogies
• Critical Thinking — argument evaluation, strong and weak arguments, course of action
• Seating arrangements — linear and circular patterns
• Data interpretation — tables, bar charts, pie charts

General Knowledge and Current Affairs

• Static GK: Indian History (Ancient, Medieval, Modern), Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Science and Technology

• Consumer Protection Act 2019, RTI Act 2005, IT Act 2000, Prevention of Corruption Act
• Contract Law basics — offer, acceptance, consideration, void and voidable contracts
• Legal Reasoning — applying a stated legal principle to a hypothetical fact scenario

The Legal Awareness section may include questions on very recent Supreme Court judgments and newly enacted legislation from 2026–2027. Keep reading legal news in the 6 months before the March 2027 exam — this section rewards current awareness and can push your score above 200.

CUET PG 2027 Admit Card for DU LLB

There is no separate DU LLB admit card — the CUET PG 2027 hall ticket issued by NTA serves as the admit card for the LLB paper (COQP11).

Top Law Colleges Under DU LLB 2027

DU LLB 2027 gives you admission to one of three Law Centres under the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. All three follow the same curriculum, are governed by the same faculty, carry equal academic standing, and award the same DU Faculty of Law degree. The key differences are location, intake size, and the competitiveness of admission at each centre.

Campus Law Centre is the most prestigious of the three. Its location on the main North Campus and its proximity to the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court makes it particularly attractive for students targeting litigation careers and internships at senior advocates’ chambers in Delhi.

For the 5-year integrated programmes at Delhi University:

• BA LLB (5-Year Integrated): 60 seats; 2026 Round 1 General category CLAT cutoff — 91.25 marks
• BBA LLB (5-Year Integrated): 60 seats; 2026 Round 1 General category CLAT cutoff — 90.25 marks

Why Choose DU Faculty of Law?

• Faculty of Law, DU is consistently ranked among India’s top 5 law schools by NIRF
• DU law alumni include Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet Ministers, Senior Advocates, and senior partners at leading Indian and international law firms
• Located in Delhi — direct access to the Supreme Court of India, Delhi High Court, hundreds of law firms, tribunals, and legal aid organisations
• Court internships, legal aid clinics, and moot court competitions are significantly more accessible for DU students than at most other law schools in India
• Annual programme fees are far lower than private law schools — DU offers a top-tier legal education at government institution fees
• DU BA LLB 2026 cutoff (91.25 CLAT) was higher than 15+ NLUs — confirming DU’s standing as one of the most competitive law programmes in the country for undergraduates

DU LLB 2027 Preparation Tips

CUET PG 2027 registration opens in December 2026 and the exam is in March 2027. You have about 5 months from today (September 2026) to build your preparation. The DU LLB paper rewards strong English language skills, sharp legal reasoning, and current affairs depth — not just memorization. Here is a section-by-section strategy to score 215+ and aim for Campus Law Centre.

Overall Preparation Strategy

• Download the official CUET PG 2026 information bulletin now and study the COQP11 paper pattern — use the 2027 bulletin when it releases in December to verify any changes before registering
• Solve at least 3–4 CUET PG LLB previous year question papers to understand question style, difficulty, and section structure
• Build a 4-month study plan (October 2026 – February 2027) with weekly targets for each section
• Take one full-length CBT mock test every week in the final 6 weeks — simulate real exam conditions and time yourself strictly to 90 minutes (the expected 2027 duration)
• In the actual exam, target 50–55 correctly answered questions — at +4/-1 scoring, 50 correct and 5 wrong gives you 195 marks, and 50 correct with no wrong attempts gives you 200

English Language

• Read one English newspaper daily — The Hindu or The Indian Express builds comprehension speed and vocabulary simultaneously
• Practice 2–3 reading comprehension passages every day under timed conditions — each passage in CUET PG is medium difficulty at around graduation level
• Revise core grammar: tenses, prepositions, subject-verb agreement, and error-spotting — these repeat reliably across every CUET PG cycle
• Maintain a vocabulary notebook with 10 new words per day and review weekly

Analytical Abilities

• Practice 15–20 reasoning questions daily — coding-decoding, number series, and blood relations are the most predictable and can be mastered with consistent practice
• Data interpretation (tables and charts) appears regularly — practice reading data quickly and extracting answers accurately
• Time yourself during practice — with only 90 minutes for 75 questions in 2027, speed matters more than in previous years

General Knowledge and Current Affairs

• Follow a monthly current affairs digest from October 2026 to February 2027 — the exam tests events from approximately March 2026 to March 2027
• Use NCERT Class 9–10 books for static GK in Political Science, History, and Geography — these cover the bulk of DU LLB static GK topics efficiently
• Keep running notes on key appointments, awards, and major sports and science events — these question types repeat across years

Legal Awareness

• Read the bare text of the Indian Constitution — especially Articles 12–35 (Fundamental Rights), Part IV (DPSP), and Part XX (Amendment Procedure)
• Study 25–30 landmark Supreme Court judgements in short summary form — focus on constitutional significance, not just the case name
• Learn at least 50 commonly tested legal maxims with their meanings — these are easy marks once memorized
• Familiarise yourself with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced the IPC and CrPC in 2024 — questions on these new codes are expected in the 2027 paper
• Practice legal reasoning questions — a stated principle is given and you apply it to a factual situation. These questions consistently appear and reward practice over memorization

Revision and Final Month Strategy

• In the 4 weeks before the March 2027 exam, shift focus entirely to revision and mock tests
• After each mock test, analyse section-wise performance and spend more time the following week on your weakest section
• Make a one-page quick-reference sheet for legal maxims, key constitutional articles, important recent events, and commonly confused grammar rules — review it daily in the last 2 weeks
• In the final week, do not introduce new topics — only revise notes and take one more full timed mock test
