The DU LLB Counselling 2026 is conducted by Delhi University through the Common Seat Allocation System for Postgraduate (CSAS-PG) on the official portal pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Admission to the three-year LLB programme at the Faculty of Law â€" Campus Law Centre (CLC), Law Centre-I (LC-I), and Law Centre-II (LC-II) â€" is based on your CUET PG 2026 score in the LLB subject (code: LLBO11), followed by CSAS-PG registration, preference filling, and seat allocation.
- The CSAS-PG portal opened for registration in early June 2026, and the preference (choice) filling window is opening shortly after registration closes.
- You must rank the three law centres â€" CLC, LC-I, LC-II â€" in your true order of preference; unranked centres will not be considered for allocation.
- Allocation is rank-based using your CUET PG 2026 merit, your category, and the seat matrix declared by Delhi University.
- The Faculty of Law offers approximately 2,310 LLB seats across the three centres, with seats reserved under UGC norms for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwBD candidates.
- Seat allocation will run in multiple rounds, including upgrade, mid-entry, and a spot/vacant-seat round, until all seats are filled.
What is DU LLB Counselling 2026?
DU LLB Counselling 2026 is the centralised seat-allocation process conducted by Delhi University for admission to the three-year LLB programme offered by the Faculty of Law through its three teaching centres â€" Campus Law Centre (CLC), Law Centre-I (LC-I), and Law Centre-II (LC-II). The process is run online through the Common Seat Allocation System â€" Postgraduate (CSAS-PG) portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in, and it is the only valid route to claim an LLB seat at DU.
Admission to all three law centres is based on your CUET PG 2026 merit in the LLB paper (subject code LLBO11) conducted by the National Testing Agency. After the CUET PG 2026 result, you must register on the CSAS-PG portal, fill and lock your preference order across CLC, LC-I, and LC-II, and accept any seat allocated to you within the deadline. The seat allocation runs in multiple rounds, including upgrade, mid-entry, and spot/vacant-seat rounds.
Registering for CSAS-PG counselling is mandatory â€" your CUET PG 2026 rank alone does not guarantee a DU LLB seat. Even toppers must complete CSAS-PG registration, preference filling, and seat acceptance to secure admission.

How to Apply for DU LLB Counselling 2026?
DU LLB Counselling 2026 is a fully online process on pgadmission.uod.ac.in. The application happens in two phases: Phase I is general CSAS-PG registration, and Phase II is the LLB-specific preference filling for CLC, LC-I, and LC-II. Both phases are mandatory â€" skipping Phase II makes you ineligible for any seat allocation.
The full process from CUET PG result to reporting at the allotted law centre involves five steps, explained below.
Step 1: CUET PG Score and Login Credentials
Keep your CUET PG 2026 application number, password, and score card ready. You must have a valid score in the LLBO11 paper â€" CUET PG scores from any other subject paper will not be considered for the DU LLB programme.
Step 2: CSAS-PG Registration on the Portal
Visit pgadmission.uod.ac.in, click on the CSAS-PG 2026 link, and register using your CUET PG credentials, mobile number, and email. Fill in personal details, category, academic qualifications, and upload the prescribed documents in the required size and format. Pay the non-refundable registration fee online to complete Phase I.
Step 3: Preference Filling and Locking
Once Phase II opens, log in to the portal and select LLB as your programme of interest. Rank Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II in your true order of preference. Lock your preferences before the deadline â€" unlocked preferences are auto-locked at the close of the window in your last-saved order.
Step 4: Seat Allocation and Acceptance
The CSAS-PG system runs allocation in multiple rounds based on your CUET PG rank, category, and the preference order you locked. If a seat is allotted, you must accept it, pay the part academic fee, and upload verification documents within the 72-hour window. Missing this window forfeits the seat.
Step 5: Reporting to the Allotted Law Centre
After your seat is confirmed in the CSAS-PG portal, you must report physically at the allotted centre â€" CLC, LC-I, or LC-II â€" with original documents for verification within the date specified by the Faculty of Law. The final admission is confirmed only after on-campus verification and payment of the balance academic fee.
How to Lock Preferences on the CSAS-PG Portal
Locking your preferences is the most critical step of CSAS-PG counselling. Fill all three law centres â€" CLC, LC-I, LC-II â€" to maximise your chance of allocation across rounds. Follow the steps below to fill and lock preferences correctly.

How Much Money is Needed for DU LLB Counselling 2026?
DU LLB counselling involves two distinct money flows: a small non-refundable registration fee paid at CSAS-PG Phase I, and a larger part-academic fee paid after seat acceptance. The figures below are based on the latest CSAS-PG bulletin pattern; always confirm the exact amount on pgadmission.uod.ac.in.
Non-Refundable Fees
The CSAS-PG registration fee is charged once and is not refunded under any circumstance, even if you do not get a seat, withdraw later, or skip preference filling. The amount is small but mandatory to activate your CSAS-PG dashboard.
Refundable Fees
The part-academic fee paid after seat acceptance is partially adjustable against the final academic fee at the law centre. If you withdraw after accepting a seat, only the refundable component is returned; the seat acceptance / processing component is forfeited.
| Fee Component | Category | Amount (INR, Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| CSAS-PG Registration Fee (non-refundable) | General / OBC-NCL / EWS | ₹ 250 (Expected) |
| SC / ST / PwBD | ₹ 100 (Expected) | |
| Part-Academic Fee at Seat Acceptance (adjustable) | General / OBC-NCL / EWS | As per Faculty of Law fee notice (Expected ₹ 1,000 - ₹ 1,500) |
| SC / ST / PwBD | Concessional, as per Faculty of Law fee notice | |
| Balance Academic Fee â€" Annual | All categories at CLC, LC-I, LC-II | As notified by Delhi University Faculty of Law for the 2026-27 session |
If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded. The exact deductions follow Delhi University’s withdrawal-refund policy in force at the time of withdrawal.
DU LLB Counselling Round-Wise Seat Allotment 2026
The CSAS-PG system runs multiple rounds to fill DU LLB seats at CLC, LC-I, and LC-II. After each round, you can accept the allotted seat with options of "Freeze" or "Upgrade" for subsequent rounds, or "Withdraw" entirely from CSAS-PG. The table below lists the round-wise structure expected for the 2026 cycle.
| Round | Expected Date (2026) | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Simulated Allocation Rank | Fourth week of June (Expected) | Indicative allocation based on locked preferences; you can still modify before the deadline. |
| Round 1 Allocation | Last week of June (Expected) | First binding allocation across CLC, LC-I, LC-II; accept / upgrade / withdraw within 72 hours. |
| Round 2 Allocation (Upgrade) | First week of July (Expected) | Candidates who chose "Upgrade" are re-allocated to a higher preference if seats free up. |
| Round 3 / Mid-entry Round | Second-third week of July (Expected) | New candidates can join CSAS-PG; remaining seats are filled. |
| Spot / Vacant-Seat Round | August (Expected, if seats remain) | Last allocation pass for unfilled seats across the three law centres. |
You must check the CSAS-PG dashboard daily during the allotment phase, because deadlines for acceptance and fee payment are short and strictly enforced. A missed 72-hour window is treated as a refusal of the allotted seat.
Reporting Process After Seat Allotment
After your seat is confirmed online through CSAS-PG, you must complete physical reporting at the allotted law centre to finalise admission. The reporting process has three steps.
- Online seat acceptance: Click "Accept" on the CSAS-PG dashboard, pay the part-academic fee, and upload all verification documents within 72 hours of allocation.
- Document verification at the law centre: Visit the allotted centre â€" CLC (North Campus), LC-I (Faculty of Law, North Campus), or LC-II (Faculty of Law, North Campus) â€" with original documents and one photocopy set within the date notified by the centre.
- Balance fee payment and admission confirmation: Pay the balance academic fee for the first year as per the Faculty of Law fee notice and collect the admission slip / ID card from the centre.
You must complete physical reporting within the dates notified by the allotted law centre, even if your online seat status shows confirmed. Skipping physical reporting forfeits the seat and blocks participation in further CSAS-PG rounds.
Upgrade vs Freeze vs Withdraw â€" What Should You Do?
After every allocation round, CSAS-PG offers three options on your dashboard. Choose carefully â€" your decision determines whether you participate in the next round, stay put, or exit the system entirely.
| Option | What It Means | When to Choose It |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | You accept the current allocation and exit further upgrade rounds. | Choose if you are happy with the allotted law centre (e.g., CLC was your top preference) and want certainty. |
| Upgrade (Float) | You accept the current allocation but remain in contention for a higher preference in later rounds. | Choose if you have a seat at LC-II but want CLC or LC-I in the next round; your current seat is safe even if no upgrade happens. |
| Withdraw | You give up the allotted seat and exit CSAS-PG entirely. | Choose only if you have a confirmed alternative admission elsewhere; withdrawal forfeits non-refundable fees and blocks re-entry. |
If you only want one specific law centre, choose "Upgrade" in earlier rounds and "Freeze" once your target centre is allotted â€" never withdraw unless your alternative admission is fully confirmed. Withdrawal is irreversible within the same cycle.

Ques: What happens if you miss the CSAS-PG preference-filling deadline?
Ans: If you saved at least one preference before the window closes, the system auto-locks your last-saved order at the deadline. If you saved nothing, you are excluded from the round 1 allocation. You may still be considered in subsequent rounds only if a mid-entry window opens.
Note: Auto-locking uses only what was last saved â€" any unsaved drag-and-drop changes are lost.
