BA admission in Delhi
Sources checked 11 November 2026
BA (Hons) and BA (Programme) seats in University of Delhi colleges are filled through CSAS(UG) on CUET-UG scores. Most BA (Hons) programmes, including History, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology, accept 1 language + any 3 List B subjects, or 2 languages + any 2 List B subjects. BA (Hons) English needs English as one of the languages, and BA (Hons) Economics needs Mathematics/Applied Mathematics with 1 language and 2 List B subjects. BA (Programme) also accepts 1 language + 1 List B subject + the General Aptitude Test, and requires Mathematics in Class 12 if a maths or computing subject is one of its two disciplines.
Local admission route: CUET-UG score, then DU's CSAS(UG) Programme + College allocation; minority colleges keep 50% of seats for minority candidates
Check each BA (Hons) programme's subject rules before you pick CUET papers: Economics needs Mathematics and English needs the English paper. St. Stephen's College and Jesus and Mary College are Christian minority colleges that keep 50% of seats for minority candidates; their other seats are filled on CUET merit like any other college.
How admission works in Delhi
Take CUET-UG in the right subjects
Take CUET-UG in subjects you studied in Class 12: 1 language + 3 List B subjects, or 2 languages + 2 List B subjects. Add Mathematics/Applied Mathematics for BA (Hons) Economics, and the English paper for BA (Hons) English.
Register on DU CSAS(UG) (Phase I)
Apply on ugadmission.uod.ac.in and pay the one-time CSAS fee (Rs 250 for UR/OBC-NCL/EWS and Rs 100 for SC/ST/PwBD in 2026). If you claim a category or minority seat, upload the certificate at this stage.
Fill Programme + College preferences (Phase II)
Once CUET results are out, add and order as many Programme + College combinations as you like. The saved list locks at the deadline and is used in every allocation round; simulated ranks are shown before it locks.
Accept, pay, then Upgrade or Freeze (Phase III)
Accept an allocated seat within the window. The college then verifies your documents and you pay the fee online. After that, choose 'Upgrade' to stay in line for higher preferences in later rounds, or 'Freeze' to keep the seat.
Documents to prepare
Keep school and qualifying-degree marksheets, identity proof, photographs and the relevant application or allotment record ready. Category, domicile, migration, transfer and gap certificates may be required where applicable. Follow the exact checklist in your current notice.
