Who can apply under the Class 12 merit route
Only candidates who have not already taken admission to any college of the University of Delhi are eligible to apply through the Class 12 merit route. Applicants must also satisfy the programme-specific eligibility criteria published by DU for the 2026-27 session.
The notice does not extend this route to students who have already secured admission elsewhere in DU or who are seeking programmes not listed in the notice.
How DU’s admission system is changing for 2026-27
For the 2026-27 academic session, DU is operating two parallel admission tracks: the conventional CUET-based route for most programmes and a Class 12 merit-based route for the specific colleges and programmes named in the university notice. The CUET remains the primary entrance examination for the majority of undergraduate seats, while the Class 12 merit option is an additional pathway introduced for select courses.
Students are advised to read the detailed notice on the official website of the conducting body to confirm which track applies to their chosen programme and college.
