Who is affected?
This update affects applicants registered through CSAS (UG) 2026 who are seeking admission under the Sports Supernumerary Quota and whose sport appears in the official trial schedule. The schedule is part of the University of Delhi undergraduate admission process.
Required student action
Download the official schedule, locate your sport, and note its date, reporting time and full venue address. Print your CSAS (UG) 2026 application form, carry valid identity proof, wear the correct playing kit, and arrive at least 30 minutes early.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the official DU admission portal.
- Download the official Sports Supernumerary Quota trial schedule.
- Find your sport and confirm the date, reporting time and venue; some men’s and women’s events are scheduled separately.
- Print the CSAS (UG) 2026 application form and keep an identity proof ready.
- Pack the proper playing kit and any sport-specific equipment required by the notice.
- Reach the venue 30 minutes before reporting time and be prepared to remain for the full trial duration.
Sport-specific equipment
The notice asks candidates in certain sports to bring specified equipment. These include a shuttlecock for badminton, baseball, chess board and clock, cricket ball, hockey ball, softball, squash ball, shooting equipment, approved table-tennis ball and tennis ball. Read the PDF row carefully instead of relying on a general kit list.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
The official instruction explicitly says latecomers will not be entertained. Missing the assigned trial or arriving after the reporting window can therefore prevent evaluation for the Sports Supernumerary Quota. Plan travel around the exact venue, not just the date.
FAQ
Can a parent enter the sports-trial venue?
No. The official notice states that an accompanying parent or guardian will not be allowed inside the venue.
Is the CSAS application form required?
Yes. Candidates must bring a printed copy of the CSAS (UG) 2026 application form along with identity proof.
