What is DUET Result 2026?
DUET (Delhi University Entrance Test) was the university-level entrance exam conducted by NTA on behalf of Delhi University for admission to its PG, MPhil, and PhD programmes. From the 2023–24 academic session, Delhi University moved entirely to CUET PG — the Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate programmes, conducted nationally by NTA — and stopped holding DUET separately. DUET 2022 (held in October 2022) was the last time DU ran its own entrance test.
So if you are looking for the DUET 2026 result, you are looking for your CUET PG 2026 scorecard. NTA declared the CUET PG 2026 result on April 24, 2026. Your scorecard is the document Delhi University uses to check your eligibility and rank you for admission to its PG programmes through the CSAS (PG) 2026 portal at admission.uod.ac.in.

DUET Result Previous Year Statistics
Delhi University moved from its own DUET exam to CUET PG for all PG admissions from the 2023–24 session. The table below shows year-wise data for both DUET (up to 2022) and CUET PG (from 2023), so you can see how participation has changed since the switch.
| Year | Exam | Approx. Candidates Registered | Approx. Candidates Appeared | Result Declaration Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | CUET PG | ~4.11 lakh | ~3.45 lakh | April 24, 2026 |
| 2025 | CUET PG | ~4.12 lakh | ~3.29 lakh | May 2025 |
| 2024 | CUET PG | ~4.62 lakh | ~3.75 lakh | June 2024 |
| 2023 | CUET PG (first year for DU) | ~3.90 lakh | ~3.10 lakh | July 2023 |
| 2022 | DUET (last year) | ~55,000 | ~44,000 | November 2022 |
The jump from DUET to CUET PG massively increased the pool of applicants competing for DU PG seats. DUET in 2022 had around 55,000 applicants since it was exclusive to Delhi University. CUET PG brought in 4 lakh+ candidates nationally from 2023, as 190+ universities participate in the same exam. The competition for popular DU PG courses has been rising steadily since the switch, and it shows no signs of easing.
Below is a trend of approximate closing scores for MA English at Delhi University (General category, Round 1 seat allotment) across the CUET PG years — one of the most-applied programmes at DU:
| Year | Exam | Approx. Closing Score — MA English, DU (General) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | CUET PG | To be released after CSAS allotment |
| 2025 | CUET PG | ~222–238 / 300 |
| 2024 | CUET PG | ~215–230 / 300 |
| 2023 | CUET PG | ~200–218 / 300 |
| 2022 | DUET | ~65–74 / 100 |
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. If you are targeting a popular DU PG programme, aim for a score well above the previous year’s closing mark to stay safe.
Ques. Did DUET merge with CUET PG permanently?
Ans. Yes. Delhi University scrapped DUET and moved to CUET PG for all PG admissions from the 2023–24 session. DUET 2022, held in October 2022, was the last edition of DU’s standalone entrance test. Since 2023, your CUET PG scorecard is what DU uses for PG admissions — there is no separate DUET exam anymore.

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.
| Detail on Scorecard | Description |
|---|---|
| Candidate’s Name | As registered in the CUET PG 2026 application form |
| Application Number / Roll Number | Unique ID assigned by NTA for this exam cycle |
| Subject(s) Appeared In | Each test paper you sat for (you can appear in up to 4 subjects) |
| Raw Score | Marks calculated on +4 for correct and −1 for wrong answers |
| Normalized / Scaled Score | Score adjusted across multiple shifts for the same subject to ensure fairness |
| Percentile Score | Your relative performance among all candidates who appeared in that subject |
| All India Rank (AIR) | Your rank based on the normalized score in that subject |
| Qualifying Status | Whether you qualify as per NTA norms for that subject |
| Category | General / OBC-NCL / EWS / SC / ST / PwD as declared in the application |
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:
| Programme | Safe Score — General | Safe Score — OBC-NCL | Safe Score — SC/ST |
|---|---|---|---|
| MA Applied Psychology | 280+ / 300 | 258+ / 300 | 238+ / 300 |
| MA Psychology | 272+ / 300 | 252+ / 300 | 232+ / 300 |
| MA Economics | 230–248 / 300 | 210–228 / 300 | 188–208 / 300 |
| MA English | 222–238 / 300 | 202–218 / 300 | 182–200 / 300 |
| MA History | 215–232 / 300 | 195–215 / 300 | 175–195 / 300 |
| M.Com | 220–238 / 300 | 200–218 / 300 | 178–196 / 300 |
| MSc Mathematics | 225–242 / 300 | 205–222 / 300 | 182–202 / 300 |
| MSc Chemistry | 218–235 / 300 | 198–215 / 300 | 176–195 / 300 |
These are estimated safe scores based on CUET PG 2023–2025 trends for DU programmes and 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.
Ques. Is there a minimum CUET PG score for Delhi University PG admissions?
Ans. 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.

Ans. The DU PG CSAS (PG) 2026 registration closes on June 7, 2026. You must register at admission.uod.ac.in before this date using your CUET PG 2026 Application Number. Missing this deadline means you cannot apply for DU PG seats in this cycle.
