Delhi University Opens UG Admissions at 3 More Colleges via Class 12 Marks; Check Last Date to Apply

The University of Delhi (DU) has cleared three more colleges for UG admissions based on Class 12 marks. The three colleges are Shyam Lal College, Rajdhani College, and Zakir Husain Delhi College (Evening).

Each college has released a merit-based admission notice online. The facility is available only for vacant UG seats in selected programmes. Applications have started from August 20, 2026 in most colleges.

These seats remained vacant after the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) admission process. Since regular CUET rounds could not fill all UG seats, DU has allowed colleges to conduct admissions through the Class 12 merit route.

Earlier, Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Bhagini Nivedita College were given similar permission. With this update, the route has now expanded to three more DU colleges.

Why DU Started Class 12 Marks Admission Route

DU introduced the Class 12 marks-based admission option in 2024 to ensure that vacant seats do not remain unfilled after the admission process.

The policy was confirmed by DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh in 2024. In 2025, DU conducted a similar mop-up admission round for vacant seats, covering around 7,500 UG seats across different colleges.

For 2026 admissions, this route has started with five colleges so far.
