DU LLB 2026: Round 2 Allotment Expected July, CUET PG Cutoff, Eligibility and Counselling

DU LLB 2026 is the admission process for law programmes at Delhi University — the 3-year LLB programme through CUET PG 2026 and the 5-year integrated BA LLB and BBA LLB programmes through CLAT 2026. NTA conducted the CUET PG LLB entrance exam on March 8, 2026, and declared results on April 24, 2026. As of today, Round 1 seat allotment for the 3-year LLB has been released on June 15, 2026, and the 5-year programmes are in the third round of allotment; all activity is managed through the official portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in.

• Round 2 Seat Allotment (3-Year LLB): Round 2 allotment for the 3-year LLB programme is expected in the first week of July 2026. Round 1 was released on June 15, 2026. In 2025, the Campus Law Centre Round 1 cutoff was 213 out of 300 marks (General category) — 2026 cutoffs are expected to be in the same range or slightly higher given increased competition this year.
• Mid-Entry Window (3-Year LLB): A mid-entry registration window is expected in the first week of July 2026 on the CSAS PG portal for candidates who received their graduation results after the June 7, 2026 registration deadline and could not register earlier.
• 5-Year LLB Round 3 Allotment: Round 3 seat allotment for BA LLB and BBA LLB is currently live. Round 1 (2026) cutoffs were 91.25 CLAT marks for BA LLB and 90.25 CLAT marks for BBA LLB (both General category) — higher than 15+ NLUs across India.
• Document Verification: All candidates who have accepted an allotted seat must appear for in-person document verification at their respective Law Centre within the specified round deadline. Failing to appear leads to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat even after fee payment.

What is DU LLB 2026?

DU LLB 2026 is the law admission process at the University of Delhi — one of the oldest and most reputed central universities in India. Delhi University runs its law education through three Law Centres: Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II, all affiliated with the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. These centres are among the most competitive law schools in the country and have produced some of India’s leading legal professionals, judges, and constitutional lawyers.

Delhi University offers two distinct categories of law programmes:

• 3-Year LLB (Postgraduate Programme): Admission is through CUET PG 2026 scores. NTA conducts the LLB entrance paper (code: COQP11). Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree to apply. Total seats across three Law Centres: 2,888. Counselling happens through the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in.
• 5-Year Integrated LLB (BA LLB and BBA LLB): Admission is through CLAT 2026 scores. These are undergraduate programmes for Class 12 pass candidates. Total seats: 120 — 60 for BA LLB and 60 for BBA LLB.

The 3-year LLB programme at Delhi University is one of the most sought-after law programmes in India. More than 2.5 lakh candidates appeared in CUET PG 2026 across all subjects, and the LLB paper saw high competition from candidates targeting the three DU Law Centres as well as other participating universities such as Banaras Hindu University and Central University of Haryana.

DU LLB 2026 Important Dates

The DU LLB 2026 calendar covers the CUET PG entrance exam, result declaration, CSAS PG counselling registration, and seat allotment rounds. As of June 29, 2026, the exam and result phases are complete. Counselling for both the 3-year LLB and the 5-year integrated programmes is in progress. The table below lists upcoming and ongoing events first in chronological order, followed by past events in chronological order.

DU LLB 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment

DU LLB 2026 Round 1 seat allotment for the 3-year LLB programme was released on June 15, 2026, through the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Candidates who registered before the June 7, 2026 deadline and submitted their CUET PG 2026 scorecard were considered for allotment based on merit rank, filled preference order of Law Centres, and category-wise reservation norms.

For the 5-year integrated BA LLB and BBA LLB programmes, Round 1 merit list was released on June 1, 2026, and Round 2 was released on June 10, 2026. Round 3 is currently live for the 5-year programmes.

How to Check DU LLB 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment

• Visit the official CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in
• Click on ’Login’ and enter your registered application number and password
• Go to ’Seat Allotment Status’ to check your allotted Law Centre and category
• If a seat is allotted, accept the seat through the portal within the specified deadline
• Pay the admission fee online before the payment deadline to confirm the seat
• Report to the allotted Law Centre for mandatory in-person document verification on the scheduled date

Candidates who do not accept their Round 1 allotted seat and pay the fee within the deadline will lose that seat. They can still be considered for Round 2 and Round 3 based on merit and seat availability.

What Happens After Round 1 Seat Allotment?

Once you accept your seat and complete fee payment, you must appear for in-person document verification at your allotted Law Centre. Bring original documents and self-attested photocopies. Your admission is confirmed only after successful document verification — fee payment alone is not enough.

Candidates who prefer to upgrade to a higher-preference Law Centre can participate in subsequent rounds. The previously allotted seat is released once you accept a new allotment in a later round. Any vacant seats remaining after Round 3 may be offered in a special spot round at Delhi University’s discretion.

Mid-Entry Window for Newly Eligible Candidates

A mid-entry registration window is expected in the first week of July 2026 for candidates who became newly eligible after the June 7, 2026 CSAS PG registration deadline — typically final-year graduation students who received their results late. Candidates registering through the mid-entry window will be considered for Round 2 and subsequent allotment rounds based on merit.

DU LLB 2026 Eligibility Criteria

The DU LLB 2026 eligibility criteria differ based on the programme. You must meet the academic qualification requirement before applying, and your eligibility is verified at the time of in-person document verification. Candidates who do not meet the criteria have their admission cancelled even after an allotment is made.

Eligibility for 3-Year LLB Programme (via CUET PG 2026)

• Academic Qualification: Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university
• Minimum Percentage: 45% aggregate marks for General, OBC-NCL, and EWS candidates; 40% for SC, ST, and PwBD candidates
• Entrance Exam: Must have appeared in CUET PG 2026 LLB paper (paper code: COQP11) conducted by NTA
• Age Limit: No upper age limit for the 3-year LLB programme

Final-year graduation candidates who have not yet received their results at the time of application are provisionally eligible. Admission is subject to clearing the minimum percentage requirement before document verification.

Eligibility for 5-Year Integrated LLB (BA LLB and BBA LLB) via CLAT 2026

• Academic Qualification: Class 12 pass from a recognized board (CBSE, ISC, state boards, or equivalent)
• Minimum Percentage: 45% aggregate marks for General, OBC-NCL, and EWS candidates; 40% for SC, ST, and PwBD candidates
• Entrance Exam: Must have qualified CLAT 2026 and submitted the score through the DU UG admission portal

Category-Wise Reservation at DU Law Centres

OBC-NCL candidates must hold a valid certificate issued by a competent authority stating they do not belong to the Creamy Layer. All category certificates must be in the format prescribed by the Government of India and must be valid at the time of document verification.

DU LLB 2026 Application Process

The DU LLB 2026 application has two separate stages. For the 3-year LLB programme, you first apply for CUET PG 2026 on the NTA portal, and then separately register on the University of Delhi CSAS PG portal for counselling. Both stages are mandatory. For the 5-year BA LLB and BBA LLB programmes, you apply through CLAT and then submit your CLAT score on the DU UG admission portal.

Stage 1: CUET PG 2026 Application (NTA Portal)

• Visit the NTA CUET PG official website and click on ’New Registration’
• Register with a valid email ID and mobile number to generate login credentials
• Fill in the application form: personal details, educational qualifications, and exam city preferences
• Select paper code COQP11 (DU LLB) while choosing your subjects
• Upload a scanned photograph and signature in the exact format and file size specified by NTA
• Pay the CUET PG application fee through the online payment gateway and submit
• Save the confirmation page and application number — you will need them throughout the process

The CUET PG 2026 application window was open from December 14, 2025 to January 14, 2026, with a correction window from January 18–20, 2026. Both windows are now closed for the 2026 cycle.

Stage 2: CSAS PG Registration for DU Counselling (DU Portal)

After the CUET PG 2026 result is declared, candidates must separately register on the Delhi University CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. This is completely independent of the NTA CUET PG application.

• Log in to the CSAS PG portal using your CUET PG 2026 application number and set a CSAS PG password
• Fill in academic and personal details in the CSAS PG application form
• Upload scanned copies of required documents for initial digital pre-verification by the university
• Enter your preferred order of Law Centres and choose applicable categories
• Pay the CSAS PG counselling registration fee and submit the form before the deadline

Registering for CUET PG alone does not register you for DU counselling. You must separately register on the CSAS PG portal after the result is declared. Missing this step means you will not receive any seat allotment — regardless of how high your CUET PG score is.

DU LLB 2026 Syllabus

The DU LLB 2026 syllabus covers the CUET PG LLB paper (COQP11) as prescribed by NTA. It has four broad areas — English Language, Analytical Abilities, General Knowledge, and Legal Awareness. NTA does not publish a chapter-wise question count distribution, but the key topics in each section are consistent across years.

English Language

• Reading Comprehension: Passages from legal, social, and general topics, followed by MCQs on main idea, inference, vocabulary in context, and author’s tone
• Grammar: Tenses, Subject-Verb Agreement, Articles, Prepositions, Parts of Speech, Error Spotting
• Vocabulary: Synonyms, Antonyms, Idioms and Phrases, One-Word Substitution, Contextual Word Meaning
• Verbal Ability: Para Jumbles, Sentence Completion, Sentence Correction, Cloze Tests

Analytical Abilities

• Logical Reasoning — syllogisms, statements and conclusions, assumptions, inferences, cause and effect
• Analytical Reasoning — number and letter series, coding-decoding, blood relations, analogies
• Critical Thinking — argument evaluation, strong and weak arguments, course of action
• Spatial and Visual Reasoning — pattern recognition, odd one out

General Knowledge

• Static GK: Indian History (Ancient, Medieval, Modern), Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Science and Technology
• Current Affairs: Major national and international events of the 12 months before the exam
• Economy: Basic economic concepts, Union Budget highlights, flagship government schemes
• Awards and Honours: Bharat Ratna, Padma Awards, Nobel Prizes, Booker Prize, major sports awards

Legal Awareness

• Indian Constitution — Preamble, Fundamental Rights (Articles 12–35), Directive Principles of State Policy, Fundamental Duties, important Constitutional Amendments
• Landmark Supreme Court and High Court judgements — Kesavananda Bharati, Maneka Gandhi, Vishaka, Right to Privacy, and recent judgements
• Legal Maxims — commonly used Latin legal phrases and their meanings
• Basics of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) — which replaced IPC and CrPC in 2024
• Contract Law basics — offer, acceptance, consideration, void and voidable contracts
• Legal Reasoning — applying a stated legal principle to a hypothetical fact scenario

Based on past papers, Legal Awareness and English Language together account for a larger share of questions than the other two sections. Candidates who prepare all four sections thoroughly — targeting 50 to 60 correct answers — score in the 200 to 240 range, which is competitive for seats at all three Law Centres.

DU LLB 2026 Admit Card

The DU LLB 2026 admit card was the CUET PG 2026 Hall Ticket issued by NTA for the LLB paper (COQP11). There is no separate DU LLB admit card — the NTA CUET PG hall ticket serves this purpose. The 2026 admit card was used for the exam held on March 8, 2026, in Shift 3 (4:00 PM to 5:30 PM). It contained the candidate’s roll number, exam centre details, reporting time, and exam day instructions.

How to Download the DU LLB Admit Card (For Reference in Future Cycles)

• Visit the NTA CUET PG official website
• Click on ’Download Admit Card’ or ’Hall Ticket’ on the homepage
• Log in using your CUET PG application number and date of birth or password
• Download and print the admit card in A4 size — a black-and-white printout is acceptable
• Carry the admit card to the exam centre along with a valid original photo ID

What the DU LLB Admit Card Contains

• Candidate’s name, roll number, and application number
• CUET PG paper code (COQP11 for LLB)
• Exam date, shift timing, and reporting time
• Exam centre name and complete address
• Candidate’s photograph and signature

• One valid original photo ID — Aadhar card, Passport, Voter ID, PAN card, or Driving Licence
• Passport-size photograph (same photo as uploaded in the application form)

Mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, and other electronic gadgets are strictly not allowed inside the exam hall. Candidates found with prohibited items may be disqualified from the exam and the subsequent admission process.

DU LLB 2026 Result

The CUET PG 2026 result was declared by NTA on April 24, 2026. There is no separate DU LLB result — the CUET PG scorecard serves as the result for all participating universities including Delhi University. Candidates can download their scorecard from exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-PG/ by logging in with their CUET PG credentials.

What the CUET PG 2026 Scorecard Contains

• Candidate name, roll number, and application number
• Section-wise raw marks: English Language, Analytical Abilities, General Knowledge, Legal Awareness
• Total marks out of 300
• Normalized or raw score depending on the session the candidate appeared in
• Qualifying status — Qualified or Not Qualified

Understanding the DU LLB Result and What Comes Next

Qualifying CUET PG does not guarantee admission to Delhi University. The scorecard makes you eligible to register on the CSAS PG portal for DU’s own counselling. The actual admission cutoff at each Law Centre is determined by the merit of all registered candidates — it is not a pre-fixed score set by NTA. A candidate who qualifies CUET PG but does not register on the CSAS PG portal by the deadline will not receive any seat allotment.

CUET PG LLB scores are also accepted by other universities including Banaras Hindu University, Central University of Haryana, and various private deemed universities across India. Candidates with competitive scores who do not secure a DU seat can explore admission at these institutions using the same CUET PG scorecard.

Top Law Colleges Under DU LLB 2026

Delhi University’s three Law Centres are the only institutions offering the 3-year LLB programme under the DU LLB 2026 admission process. All three are part of the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, follow the same curriculum, and carry equal academic standing. The difference lies in their location, campus environment, and the slightly varying admission cutoff scores each cycle.

Campus Law Centre is the most prestigious of the three and is located on the main North Campus of Delhi University. Its proximity to the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India makes it particularly attractive for students who want regular exposure to active legal proceedings, moot court sessions, and internship opportunities at leading law firms and chambers in the National Capital Region.

For the 5-year integrated programmes at Delhi University:

• BA LLB (5-Year Integrated): 60 seats; Round 1 General category cutoff — 91.25 CLAT marks in 2026
• BBA LLB (5-Year Integrated): 60 seats; Round 1 General category cutoff — 90.25 CLAT marks in 2026

Delhi University’s law alumni network spans sitting and retired Supreme Court judges, senior advocates at the Supreme Court and High Courts, partners at leading Indian and international law firms, and prominent public figures. For students targeting litigation, judicial service, or corporate law, a DU law degree opens significant doors in India’s legal ecosystem.

DU LLB 2026 Preparation Tips

Preparing for the DU LLB entrance exam (CUET PG LLB) requires a balanced approach across all four sections. The exam rewards strong English language skills and sharp legal reasoning over brute memorization. The following tips are aimed at candidates planning for the 2027 cycle or building a preparation strategy for future attempts.

English Language

• Read editorial articles daily — The Hindu and The Indian Express build both comprehension speed and vocabulary in legal and social contexts
• Practice reading comprehension with a strict timer — the DU LLB paper gives you under 90 seconds per question on average
• Revise core grammar rules regularly, especially tenses, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement, which appear in every cycle
• Maintain a vocabulary notebook with 10 new words per day and review it every week — you need words both to answer vocabulary questions and to handle reading passages efficiently

Analytical Abilities

• Practice logical reasoning sets — syllogisms, statements and conclusions, and assumptions — every day for at least 30 minutes
• Work through coding-decoding, number series, and seating arrangement puzzles to build solution speed
• Always time your practice — accuracy under time pressure is the actual skill being tested, not just knowing the logic

General Knowledge and Current Affairs

• Follow a monthly current affairs digest or app and cover the past 12 months before the exam — the DU LLB paper typically tests events from the preceding calendar year
• Use NCERT books for Class 9 to 12 for static GK in History, Geography, and Indian Polity
• Keep short notes on key government schemes, international summits, and national awards for quick revision in the final weeks

Legal Awareness

• Read the Indian Constitution — focus on Parts III (Fundamental Rights, Articles 12–35), Part IV (Directive Principles), and Part XX (Amendment Procedure)
• Study 25 to 30 landmark judgements in short summary form — focus on constitutional significance, not just the case name
• Learn 50 commonly tested legal maxims with their meanings and application context
• Familiarize yourself with the new criminal law framework — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) — since these replaced IPC and CrPC in 2024 and are likely to appear in upcoming papers

Overall Strategy

• Attempt 4 to 6 full-length mock tests in CBT mode before the exam — simulate real exam conditions including the 105-minute time limit
• After each mock test, analyze section-wise performance and spend more time the following week on your weakest section
• Target 50 to 55 correct answers out of 75 — at +4 per correct and -1 per wrong, getting 50 right and 5 wrong gives you 195 marks, which is competitive for Law Centre-I and Law Centre-II
• In the final two weeks before the exam, shift focus to Legal Awareness and English Language, since strong performance in these two sections is what typically pushes candidates above 200 marks
