DU One-Year PG Admission 2026: Register by July 31

DU one-year PG registration closes July 31 at 11:59 PM IST. Check eligibility, programme selection, fees and the official application steps.

The University of Delhi (DU) one-year postgraduate admission portal for 2026-27 now shows July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM IST as the registration and payment deadline. This route is for eligible students who completed a four-year undergraduate degree under DU’s UGCF 2022 framework and want to enter a one-year master’s programme.

What changed?

DU’s official postgraduate portal is accepting one-year PG applications, and it now displays both the registration closing time and the fee-payment window as July 31 at 11:59 PM IST. DU’s PG admissions page also carries the dated public notice, bulletin and portal link.

Who can apply?

  • Students who completed a four-year undergraduate programme under UGCF 2022/NEP 2020 from the University of Delhi.
  • Eligible graduates from DU’s regular colleges, School of Open Learning (SOL) and Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB).
  • Candidates who satisfy the programme-specific subject, credit and score requirements in the official one-year PG bulletin.

The general minimum in the bulletin is 50% for UR/OBC-NCL/EWS applicants and 45% for SC/ST/PwBD applicants, but several programmes prescribe a higher threshold or particular credits. Treat the programme table in the DU bulletin as the final eligibility check.

Required student action

  1. Open the DU PG admission portal and select the one-year PG option for regular and SOL students.
  2. Sign in with your DU enrolment number and date of birth exactly as recorded by the University.
  3. Complete Phase I by checking your personal and academic details.
  4. In Phase II, select only programmes for which your four-year degree, Major credits and score meet the published eligibility rule. The official registration notice tells students to check the total credits required for the Major and their SGPA/CGPA.
  5. Upload or confirm every item requested on the dashboard, review the declaration and submit the form.
  6. Pay the non-refundable application fee through the official portal before July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM IST. Save the final form and successful payment receipt.

Application fee

Applicant categoryFee per programme
UR, OBC-NCL and EWS₹250
SC, ST and PwBD₹100

The fee applies separately to each selected programme and is non-refundable. DU says an application is complete only after the payment is realized through the portal.

Programmes covered

The bulletin covers one-year postgraduate options across arts, humanities, social sciences, science, mathematics, commerce and interdisciplinary subjects. Students comparing broad qualifications can review EntranceAlert’s guides to the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc) and Master of Commerce (MCom).

Exact published course guides are also available for MA Philosophy, MSc Environmental Science and MSc Computer Science. These guides provide context; eligibility for the one-year route must still be checked in DU’s current bulletin.

If your eighth-semester result is pending

DU’s July 23 public notice says students awaiting their four-year UG result may proceed with Phase II after the eighth-semester result is declared. Do not guess your final credits or CGPA; return to the dashboard when the official result is available and finish all remaining steps before the portal closes.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

A saved form without successful fee realization is not a completed application. If registration or payment is not completed by July 31 at 11:59 PM IST, the candidate can lose the right to be considered in this admission cycle. DU does not accept payment through an unofficial link or another mode.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the regular two-year DU PG admission process?

No. This is a separate one-year postgraduate route for eligible DU four-year UGCF 2022 graduates.

Can I apply to more than one programme?
