DU LLB 2026: CSAS PG Registration, Cutoff, Eligibility, Syllabus and Counselling

DU LLB 2026 is the 3-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) programme offered by the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, with admissions conducted entirely through CUET PG 2026 scores assessed by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The CUET PG 2026 result was declared on April 24, 2026, and the University of Delhi has since launched CSAS PG 2026 — its Common Seat Allocation System for PG programmes — to fill approximately 2,889 LL.B. seats across Campus Law Centre, Law Centre I, and Law Centre II. If you have qualified in the CUET PG 2026 Law paper, you must register on the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in before the deadline to be considered for seat allocation.

• CSAS PG 2026 Registration Deadline: The DU CSAS PG 2026 registration window is open till June 7, 2026 (11:59 PM). As of May 27, only 11 days remain — register immediately at pgadmission.uod.ac.in and fill your course and college preferences. The fee is Rs 250 for UR/OBC-NCL/EWS and Rs 100 for SC/ST/PwBD per programme.
• Round 1 Seat Allotment: DU LLB Round 1 allotment under CSAS PG 2026 is expected in the last week of June 2026. In 2025, the first allotment list was released around the last week of June, followed by Round 2 in the first week of July.
• Cutoff Estimate: DU LLB 2026 cutoffs will be based on CUET PG 2026 Law scores out of 300. In 2025, the Round 1 UR cutoff was 213 for Campus Law Centre (CLC), 193 for Law Centre II, and 188 for Law Centre I. A score of 215+ is considered safe for CLC in the UR category.
• DU LLB Classes 2026: Orientation and classes for the new batch are expected to begin in August 2026, after all CSAS PG 2026 rounds and document verification are complete. Last year academic activities started in the first week of August.

What is DU LLB 2026?

DU LLB is the 3-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) programme offered by the Faculty of Law at the University of Delhi — one of India’s oldest and most prestigious law schools. The programme trains students in core legal subjects across 6 semesters and is a gateway to careers in litigation, judiciary, government legal services, law firms, and academia. DU law graduates are found across the Supreme Court of India, various High Courts, central and state government legal departments, and top law firms.

The University of Delhi runs the LL.B. (3-Year) programme through three law centres under the Faculty of Law: Campus Law Centre (CLC), Law Centre I (LC-I), and Law Centre II (LC-II). Since 2022, DU replaced its own entrance exam with the CUET PG (Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate Programmes), conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), as the sole basis for DU LLB admissions.

DU LLB is highly competitive. Each year, tens of thousands of law aspirants compete for around 2,889 seats. The programme covers subjects like Constitutional Law, Law of Contracts, Law of Torts, Criminal Law, Family Law, Property Law, and Jurisprudence across its 6 semesters. Campus Law Centre is the most sought-after among the three centres and consistently has the highest cutoff.

DU LLB 2026 Eligibility Criteria

You must meet the DU LLB 2026 eligibility conditions before registering on the CSAS PG portal. If your application does not satisfy any of the conditions below, the University of Delhi can cancel your allotted seat even after admission.

Academic Qualification

You must have a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university or institution. There is no stream restriction — graduates from BA, B.Com, B.Sc., B.Tech, B.Pharm, and all other streams can apply.

The percentage is calculated on the basis of all subjects in your graduation degree, as per the university’s own marking system. If your university follows a CGPA/GPA system, DU will convert it to a percentage using the standard formula applicable to your university.

Final-Year Students

Students appearing in the final year or final semester of their graduation in 2026 can also apply and register for CSAS PG 2026. However, your final graduation result must be out and you must have secured the required minimum marks before the date of DU document verification. If you fail to produce a final marksheet by that date, your admission will be cancelled.

Age Limit

There is no upper age limit for DU LLB 2026. You can apply at any age as long as you meet the academic qualification requirements.

CUET PG 2026 Score Requirement

You must have appeared in the CUET PG 2026 Law paper (the specific paper designated for LL.B. / Law admissions) conducted by NTA. There is no minimum qualifying score specified by DU — your rank in the CUET PG 2026 Law merit list determines whether you get a seat. However, based on past cutoffs, a score below 150 out of 300 is unlikely to result in admission at any of DU’s three law centres.

You must have taken the CUET PG 2026 Law paper specifically. Scores from other CUET PG subject papers (like History, Political Science, etc.) are not valid for DU LLB admission.

CUET PG 2026: Application Process for DU LLB

DU LLB 2026 admissions happen in two stages. In Stage 1, you register and appear for CUET PG 2026 (now completed). In Stage 2, you use your CUET PG score to register on DU’s CSAS PG portal for seat allocation. Stage 2 is currently active with the last date of June 7, 2026.

The DU LLB 2026 syllabus is the syllabus of the CUET PG 2026 Law paper. It covers four broad areas: Legal Awareness and Aptitude, English Language and Comprehension, General Knowledge and Current Affairs, and Analytical and Logical Reasoning.

2. English Language and Comprehension

• Reading comprehension passages (legal and general topics)
• Fill in the blanks — vocabulary and grammar-based
• Error detection and sentence correction
• One-word substitution, synonyms, antonyms
• Para-jumbles and passage rearrangement
• Active-passive voice and direct-indirect speech conversion

3. General Knowledge and Current Affairs

• Recent Supreme Court and High Court judgments (last 18 months)
• New legislation enacted in 2024–2025 (BNS, BNSS, BSA, Telecommunications Act, etc.)
• Indian polity, governance, and constitutional developments

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS 2023), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS 2023), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA 2023) replaced the IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act with effect from July 1, 2024. The CUET PG Law paper now tests questions from these new laws. Make sure you study BNS and BNSS — knowledge of only the old IPC and CrPC will not be sufficient.

DU LLB Seat Intake 2026

The Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, offers approximately 2,889 LL.B. (3-Year) seats across its three law centres. These seats are distributed category-wise in line with the central reservation policy. Campus Law Centre is the smallest and most competitive; Law Centre II has the most seats.

Category-wise Seat Distribution — DU LLB 2026 (Approximate)

DU LLB Seats by Law Centre

All three law centres are part of the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, and award the same University of Delhi LL.B. degree. The curriculum, syllabus, examination system, and degree value are identical across all three centres. Campus Law Centre historically attracts the highest demand due to its infrastructure and central location, which is why its admission cutoff is the highest.

Many students prefer Law Centre II for its larger batch size and South Campus location, while Law Centre I is popular among candidates in the North Delhi region. The quality of legal education you get at all three centres is equivalent since they are governed by the same Faculty of Law administration.

Preparation Tips for DU LLB

If you are preparing for DU LLB for a future attempt (2027 or beyond), these tips will help you crack the CUET PG Law paper with a high score. Consistent preparation over 4–6 months is sufficient to score 220+ out of 300.

1. Prioritise Constitutional Law

Constitutional Law appears in the Legal Awareness and Aptitude section every year without fail and usually has the most questions of any single subject in the Law paper. Focus on Fundamental Rights (Articles 12–35), Directive Principles (Part IV), Emergency Provisions (Articles 352–360), and the distribution of powers (Schedule 7). Read V.N. Shukla’s Constitution of India or D.D. Basu’s Shorter Constitution of India for a systematic understanding.

2. Study the New Criminal Laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA)

Since July 1, 2024, India’s criminal justice system runs on three new laws — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS 2023), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS 2023), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA 2023). CUET PG Law paper questions on criminal law now refer to these new codes, not the old IPC and CrPC. You need to know the new section numbers and the new offences added. Focus on key provisions of BNS (e.g., organised crime, terrorism, new offences) and BNSS (trial by video conferencing, new bail provisions).

3. Track Supreme Court Judgments

One to two questions in the CUET PG Law paper are typically based on recent landmark Supreme Court judgments. Keep a running list of important SC decisions from the past 12–18 months. Focus on constitutional law, criminal law, and environmental law cases. Legal news portals and the Supreme Court’s official website publish summaries of important judgments regularly.

4. Build English Reading Speed

The Language Comprehension section has 25 questions — the single largest section. You should be able to finish it in under 25 minutes, leaving more time for the Legal Awareness and reasoning sections. Practice reading legal passages and editorial content daily to improve your reading speed and comprehension accuracy.

5. Solve Previous Year CUET PG Law Papers

Solving at least 5 previous year CUET PG Law papers (2022 onwards) is essential. This gives you a clear picture of the question style, difficulty level, and recurring topic weightage. Constitutional Law, Law of Contracts, and Torts appear every year. Mock tests in real exam conditions (75 questions in 90 minutes) will sharpen your time management skills.
