Delhi University Entrance Test Result 2026

What is DUET Result 2026?

DUET Result 2026 is the CUET PG 2026 scorecard. Delhi University no longer conducts its own entrance test for postgraduate admissions.

DUET (Delhi University Entrance Test) was the university-level exam held by NTA for DU's PG, MPhil, and PhD programmes. From the 2023–24 session, Delhi University replaced DUET with CUET PG (Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate programmes), which NTA conducts nationally. DUET 2022, held in October 2022, was the last standalone DU entrance test.

NTA declared the CUET PG 2026 result on 24 April 2026. The scorecard is available at exams.nta.nic.in/cuet-pg and on DigiLocker.

DUET Result Previous Year Statistics

Delhi University switched from its own DUET exam to CUET PG for all PG admissions starting the 2023–24 session. The table below shows year-wise data for both DUET (up to 2022) and CUET PG (from 2023), showing how participation changed after the switch.

The move from DUET to CUET PG greatly increased the number of applicants for DU PG seats. DUET in 2022 had around 55,000 applicants because it was exclusive to Delhi University. CUET PG brought in 4 lakh+ candidates nationally from 2023, as 190+ universities use the same exam. Competition for popular DU PG courses has risen steadily since the switch.

The table below shows the trend of approximate closing scores for MA English at Delhi University (General category, Round 1 seat allotment) across the CUET PG years. This is one of the most-applied programmes at DU.

Based on these trends, closing scores at DU for most Arts and Social Science PG programmes have risen by about 10–15 marks each year since CUET PG replaced DUET. For a popular DU PG programme, aim for a score well above the previous year’s closing mark.

DUET 2026 Scorecard: Details and Contents

The CUET PG 2026 scorecard is the official document Delhi University checks when processing your CSAS application. Before uploading it to the DU portal, verify every detail carefully.

If anything looks wrong — especially your name or date of birth — report it to NTA at exams.nta.nic.in/cuet-pg right away. Errors not fixed early can create problems during DU’s document verification stage.

Delhi University uses your normalized score (not raw score) for merit ranking on the CSAS portal, as the exam is held across multiple days and shifts. The normalized score levels the playing field across different exam sessions.

DUET 2026 Qualifying Marks and DU Cutoff

NTA does not set a fixed minimum qualifying score for CUET PG 2026. Delhi University releases its own course-wise and category-wise cutoffs (closing scores) through the CSAS portal after each round of seat allotment.

The 2026 cutoffs will be published once CSAS registration closes on June 7, 2026. Based on previous years’ CUET PG closing scores at DU, here are approximate safe score estimates for some popular DU PG programmes. These are trend-based estimates — actual 2026 cutoffs may vary.

Estimated Safe Scores for DU PG Programmes (CUET PG)

These are estimated safe scores based on CUET PG 2023–2025 trends for DU programmes. They are not official DU cutoffs for 2026.

Actual cutoffs depend on total applicants, seat availability, and category-wise competition this year. For high-demand programmes like MA Applied Psychology, the cutoff has risen to near-maximum levels — so every mark counts.

Is There a Minimum CUET PG Score for DU PG Admissions?

NTA does not set a fixed minimum qualifying score. DU sets its own merit-based cutoffs through the CSAS portal based on the number of applicants and available seats in each category.

Your score relative to other applicants for the same programme determines whether you get admission. For most DU PG programmes, a score of 220+ out of 300 in the General category is a reasonable starting target, but check the programme-specific closing scores from previous years for a more accurate estimate.

What After DUET Result: DU PG Admission via CSAS

Once you have your CUET PG 2026 scorecard, the next step is to apply to Delhi University through the CSAS (PG) 2026 portal. Here is the full process:

Step 1: Register on the CSAS PG Portal

Go to admission.uod.ac.in and complete your CSAS (PG) 2026 registration. The window is open from May 16 to June 7, 2026.

You need your CUET PG 2026 Application Number and basic personal details to register.

Step 2: Fill Programme and College Preferences

After registration, fill in your programme and college choices in order of preference. You can choose multiple DU colleges and programmes.

The CSAS system allocates seats based on your CUET PG normalized score, category, and the preferences you submit.

Step 3: Seat Allotment Rounds

DU runs 2–3 rounds of seat allotment. After Round 1, if you get an allotment you are happy with, accept it and pay the fees.

If you want a higher preference, choose the "upgrade" option — but only if higher-preference seats may open up in Round 2. Missing the acceptance deadline forfeits your allotted seat.

Step 4: Document Verification and Fee Payment

After each allotment round, complete online document verification and pay the admission fee within the deadline.

Documents you will typically need include your CUET PG 2026 scorecard, graduation marksheets, degree certificate or provisional certificate, category certificate (if applicable), Aadhaar card, migration/transfer certificate, and passport-size photographs.

Special Note — GATE Scores

For certain technical and science PG programmes at DU, GATE 2026 scores may be considered alongside or before CUET PG scores. Check the DU PG 2026 Bulletin of Information on admission.uod.ac.in for the complete programme-specific eligibility criteria before filling your CSAS preferences.

Seat Allotment Rounds

Delhi University typically conducts 2-3 rounds of seat allotment through CSAS. After each round, you can accept the allotted seat or choose to retain your preference for a higher-priority option in the next round, but only if seats in higher preferences are likely to open.

Accept an allotment you are comfortable with rather than risking losing a seat by waiting.

Challenging Your CUET PG 2026 Result

NTA provides a provisional answer key before the final result, during which you can submit objections with a fee. Once NTA declares the final result after reviewing all objections, no further challenges are accepted.

GATE Score vs CUET PG Score for Seat Allotment

GATE scores are used for seat allotment in place of CUET PG scores for eligible candidates. The University of Delhi accepts GATE scores for admission to specific postgraduate programmes.

Candidates who have a valid GATE score can apply through the Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) portal. They are not required to appear for the CUET PG examination for the same programme.

How Seat Allotment Works

Seat allotment is done based on the merit of the score submitted by the candidate. Candidates with GATE scores are ranked separately from those with CUET PG scores.

The university prepares a combined merit list for each programme. Candidates with GATE scores are placed in the merit list according to their GATE score. Candidates with CUET PG scores are placed according to their CUET PG score.

Eligibility for GATE Score Submission

GATE scores are accepted only for programmes where the eligibility criteria specify GATE as an accepted entrance test. The list of such programmes is provided in the admission brochure.

Candidates must check the specific programme requirements before applying. The GATE score must be valid for the admission year in which the candidate is applying.

Important Points

• GATE scores are used as an alternative to CUET PG scores for seat allotment.
• Candidates with GATE scores do not need to appear for CUET PG.
• The merit list is prepared based on the score submitted by the candidate.
• GATE is accepted only for programmes that list it as an eligible entrance test.
• The GATE score must be valid for the current admission cycle.
