DU LLB Counselling 2026: Registration, Round Wise Seat Allotment and Law Centre Cutoff

DU LLB 2026 counselling is conducted through the CSAS PG (Common Seat Allocation System for Postgraduate Admissions) portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in, managed by the University of Delhi. Admission to the 3-year Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme is based exclusively on CUET PG 2026 scores, with seats allotted across three Faculty of Law centres — Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II.

• Round 1 seat allotment was released on June 15, 2026 and Round 2 on June 22, 2026; the Upgrade Window opened June 30, 2026, and a Mid-Entry Window is expected on July 2, 2026.
• A total of approximately 2,888 seats are available across the three law centres under the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.
• DU is a central university — no domicile or home-state quota applies; students from any state in India compete nationally within their category.
• CSAS PG registration fee is ₹250 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS students and ₹100 for SC/ST/PwBD students (non-refundable).
• Admission is based on CUET PG 2026 scores in Subject Code COQP11 (Law) — no separate DU entrance exam is conducted.
• Students who have already completed an LLB programme (3-year or 5-year) from any university are not eligible for DU LLB 3-year admission.

Reservation of Quotas for DU LLB Counselling 2026

The University of Delhi is a centrally funded institution under the Ministry of Education and follows Government of India reservation norms for all PG admissions, including LLB. No domicile, home-state, or regional quota applies — students from every state compete equally within their respective categories. Reservation is applied programme-wise across all three law centres in the CSAS PG allotment process.

OBC-NCL students must ensure their certificate explicitly confirms non-creamy layer status as per central government norms — a state government OBC certificate alone does not suffice. EWS certificate validity is year-specific; a certificate issued for a prior financial year may not be accepted. Students claiming supernumerary quotas (ECA, Sports, Kashmiri Migrant) should check the separate notification for those categories on pgadmission.uod.ac.in, as these may follow a distinct process outside the standard CSAS PG allotment.

How to Apply for DU LLB Counselling 2026?

DU LLB counselling takes place entirely online through the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. Registering for CSAS PG is mandatory — your CUET PG rank alone does not guarantee a seat. The process has five sequential steps, each tied to a strict deadline. Missing any deadline causes your allotment to be cancelled and released to the next round’s pool.

Step 1: CSAS PG Registration

Visit pgadmission.uod.ac.in and click "PG Admissions 2026". Log in using your CUET PG 2026 application number and date of birth. Complete the personal and academic details form, upload required documents — recent passport-size photograph, signature, and relevant certificates — and select LLB (3-year) as your programme of interest. The initial registration window for 2026 closed on June 7, 2026. Students who missed the initial window due to late declaration of their qualifying examination results may be eligible to register through the Mid-Entry Window, expected to open on July 2, 2026.

Step 2: Registration Fee Payment

Pay the non-refundable CSAS PG registration fee online immediately after completing your registration form. The fee is ₹250 for General, OBC-NCL, and EWS students, and ₹100 for SC, ST, and PwBD students. Payment can be made by debit card, credit card, or net banking. Download and save the payment receipt — it is required at the document verification stage as proof of confirmed registration. Without a successful fee payment, your registration is not activated and you will not appear in the allotment pool.

Step 3: Choice Filling

Once your registration and fee payment are confirmed, log in to fill your programme preferences. For the LLB 3-year programme, the three law centres — Campus Law Centre (CLC), Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II — appear as separate preference options. Fill all three law centres in your preferred order; including more choices maximises your seat allotment opportunities across all rounds. Preferences can be saved and revised multiple times during the choice-filling window. Lock your choices before the window closes — the system freezes editing once the deadline passes, and the allotment engine uses your last-saved locked order.

Step 4: Seat Allotment and Acceptance

After each allotment round, log in to your CSAS PG dashboard and check your result. If a seat is allotted, you have four options: Accept and Freeze (confirm the seat and exit further rounds), Accept and Upgrade (secure the seat but remain in the upgrade pool for a higher-preference centre), Reject (decline the seat and re-enter the pool for the next round with no guaranteed outcome), or Withdraw (exit the process entirely). Accepting a seat does not automatically confirm your admission — you must pay the seat acceptance fee within the stipulated deadline, or the seat is cancelled.

Step 5: Document Verification and Reporting

After accepting your allotted seat and paying the seat acceptance fee, report to the allotted law centre for document verification within the window specified by that law centre. Carry originals and two sets of self-attested photocopies of all required documents. Students in their final year of the qualifying Bachelor’s programme have until October 31, 2026 to submit their degree certificate or provisional certificate. Failure to report and complete verification within the deadline forfeits your allotted seat, and no refund applies to non-refundable fee components already paid.

How to Fill and Lock Choices on CSAS PG Portal

Choice filling and locking is the most consequential step of DU LLB counselling. The order in which you arrange the three law centres directly determines which centre you are allotted in each round — rank CLC first if it is your top preference. Fill all three law centres to maximise your chances across all allotment rounds.

Step 1: Log In to the CSAS PG Portal

• Go to pgadmission.uod.ac.in.
• Click "Applicant Login" and enter your CUET PG 2026 application number and password set during registration.

Step 2: Navigate to Choice Filling

• On your dashboard, click "Choice Filling" under the LLB (3-year) programme section.
• You will see all three law centres listed: Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, and Law Centre-II.

Step 3: Arrange Your Preferences

• Use the drag-and-drop interface or the arrow buttons to arrange the three law centres in your preferred order.
• Place your most-preferred law centre at rank 1 (for example, CLC if it is your top choice given its prestige and alumni network).
• Click "Save Preferences" — you can return and revise the order until the choice-locking deadline.

Step 4: Lock Your Choices

• Once satisfied with the order, click "Lock Choices".
• Confirm the action on the pop-up dialogue — locking is irreversible within the current allotment window.
• Download the locked-choices PDF confirmation and save it as proof of your submission.

Once confirmed, your preference order is final for that allotment round. The system uses your locked order to assign a seat in the next round based on merit rank and seat availability.

DU LLB Counselling Documents Required 2026

Carry originals and two sets of self-attested photocopies of every document listed below to the law centre at the time of document verification.

How Much Money is Needed for DU LLB Counselling 2026?

The total outlay at the counselling stage has two distinct parts: a non-refundable CSAS PG registration fee paid upfront at registration, and a seat acceptance fee paid only when you receive and choose to accept an allotment. Keep the payment receipt for each — both are verified at the law centre during document verification.

Non-Refundable Fees

The CSAS PG registration fee is non-refundable regardless of whether you receive a seat allotment, whether you withdraw, or whether your seat is cancelled after verification. It is a processing charge to access the allotment system, not a guarantee of admission.

Seat Acceptance Fee (Refundable)

When you accept an allotted seat, you must pay a seat acceptance fee to provisionally confirm your admission. This fee acts as a security deposit against the programme fee payable at reporting. If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded — the non-refundable portion is forfeited as per Delhi University’s cancellation and refund policy for the 2026 cycle. Students who are automatically upgraded to a better-preference law centre in a subsequent round do not lose their previously paid acceptance fee — it is carried forward or adjusted. Confirm the exact seat acceptance fee amount and the precise refund breakdown from the official DU 2026 admission bulletin at pgadmission.uod.ac.in before paying.

DU LLB CSAS PG Round-Wise Seat Allotment 2026

CSAS PG runs multiple allotment rounds to progressively fill seats across the three law centres. After each round, students who receive an allotment must accept and pay within the defined window — failing to do so causes the seat to be released to the next round. Students who choose "Accept and Upgrade" after any round remain in the allotment pool and may automatically move to a higher-preference law centre if seats become available in the next round.

The table below shows the three law centres involved in CSAS PG 2026 allotment for the 3-year LLB programme. The 2025 closing score for Campus Law Centre (General) is provided as historical reference — 2026 closing scores will be updated once the full allotment cycle concludes.

Upgrade, Freeze, or Withdraw — What Should You Do?

After receiving an allotment in any round, the CSAS PG portal prompts you to choose one of four responses. The response you select has irreversible consequences for your seat and your participation in future rounds — read each option carefully before confirming.

If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded — the non-refundable portion is forfeited as per Delhi University’s 2026 cancellation policy. Students opting to upgrade should confirm they are comfortable retaining their current allotment as a fallback — the upgrade is not guaranteed, and no further manual intervention is available once the option is selected. Never choose "Reject" unless you have carefully weighed the risk of receiving no further allotment in the remaining rounds.
