CBSE Class 12 Compartment Students and DU Mid-Entry Admission: What the Latest Guidelines Indicate

The University of Delhi (DU) has issued important guidance for CBSE Class 12 compartment students participating in the CSAS UG Admission 2026 process. Recognising that many students are awaiting their CBSE Class 12 supplementary (compartment) examination results, the university has introduced a mid-entry facility under the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG) to enable eligible candidates to participate in admissions after their results are declared. However, candidates must satisfy the prescribed eligibility conditions and complete the admission process within the timelines announced by the university.

According to the latest DU admission advisory, candidates who clear the CBSE Class 12 compartment examination and become eligible for undergraduate admission can register through the CSAS mid-entry window, subject to the admission schedule and availability of seats. The university has clarified that mid-entry registration opened on August 3, 2026, while the third round of seat allocation is scheduled for August 8, 2026. Students are therefore advised to keep their supplementary result, updated marksheet and other documents ready to avoid missing admission deadlines.

DU Mid-Entry Admission 2026 Highlights

What is DU Mid-Entry?

The mid-entry facility allows eligible candidates who could not participate in the earlier admission rounds due to pending qualifying examination results or other permitted reasons to enter the ongoing CSAS admission process.

For CBSE compartment students, this provides an opportunity to seek admission after successfully clearing the supplementary examination, provided they satisfy all DU admission requirements.

Who Can Benefit?

The latest advisory is particularly relevant for:

• CBSE Class 12 compartment candidates awaiting supplementary results.

• Students who become eligible after passing the compartment examination.

• Candidates who could not complete the earlier admission process because their qualifying result was pending.

• Eligible CUET UG 2026 candidates meeting DU admission criteria.
