Delhi University CSAS Phase 2 UG preferences for 2026 show a sharp shift as Dyal Singh College enters the top six choices while Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has fallen out of the top five preferred colleges.
University of Delhi (DU) UG college preferences have shifted drastically for 2026. The trend emerges from Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) Phase 2 data. Applicants filed choices on the official portal at admission.uod.ac.in.
Dyal Singh College has entered the top six for the first time. Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has slipped out of top five. Sri Venkateswara College also features among the top six this year.
The preference filling window has closed and simulated ranks are already out. The first CSAS seat allocation list is due shortly. All key dates are listed in the table below.
DU CSAS 2026 Key Dates
| Event | Date and Time |
|---|---|
| Preference filling deadline (Phase 2) | July 11 2026, 11:59 PM |
| Simulated ranks release | July 12 2026, 5:00 PM |
| First CSAS seat allocation list | July 16 2026, 5:00 PM |
| Second CSAS seat allocation list | July 25 2026 |
| Preference reordering after Round 2 | Till July 28 2026 |
How the Preference Chart Has Shifted?
SRCC has traditionally led the commerce preference chart at DU. This year applicants have ranked several other colleges above it. Dyal Singh College has entered the top six for the first time.
Sri Venkateswara College also holds a top six spot this cycle. Both colleges enjoy strong reputations in science and commerce streams. Their central Delhi location and affordable fees add to their appeal.
What This Means for CUET UG Candidates?
DU allots seats through CSAS using CUET UG scores and preference order. The system picks the highest-ranked college where the candidate is eligible. A shift in aggregate preferences can therefore change closing ranks.
Top six entrants may record higher cut-offs than last year. SRCC could see slightly softer cut-offs in some of its programmes. Candidates should study simulated ranks carefully before the allocation list.
