DU LLB 2026: Round 1 Allotment Expected June, CUET PG Cutoff, Eligibility and Counselling

DU LLB 2026 refers to the 3-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) programme offered by the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, across its three prestigious law centres — Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-1, and Law Centre-2. Admission is based on CUET PG 2026 scores (Subject Code: COQP11), an exam conducted by NTA on March 8, 2026. The result was declared on April 24, 2026, CSAS PG registration has now closed (June 7, 2026), and the DU LLB 2026 counselling process is set to begin with Round 1 allotment expected in the last week of June 2026.

• Round 1 Seat Allotment: DU LLB 2026 Round 1 seat allotment is expected in the last week of June 2026. Last year, the first merit list and allotment were released around June 26, 2025 — candidates should log in to pgadmission.uod.ac.in regularly for the announcement.
• Mid-Entry Window: A mid-entry registration window is expected to open in the first week of July 2026 before Round 3, allowing newly eligible candidates (those whose graduation results were declared after June 7) to register. This window is typically open for 2–3 days only.
• Round 2 and Round 3 Allotment: Round 2 allotment is expected in the first week of July 2026 and Round 3 in the second–third week of July 2026. Candidates allotted a seat can choose to upgrade to a higher-preference Law Centre in each subsequent round.
• Seats and Competition: A total of 2,888 seats are available across three Law Centres. More than 1 lakh candidates appear for CUET PG LLB every year — in 2025, the General category cutoff for Campus Law Centre was 213 out of 300 marks in Round 1, making it one of the most competitive law admissions in India.

What is DU LLB 2026?

DU LLB refers to the 3-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) programme offered by the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. It is one of the most sought-after law programmes in India, available at three government law centres under Delhi University. Admission to DU LLB is through scores from the Common University Entrance Test – Postgraduate (CUET PG 2026), conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). DU switched from its own entrance test to CUET PG scores from 2022 onwards.

The University of Delhi manages the seat allocation through the Common Seat Allocation System for Postgraduate (CSAS PG). A total of 2,888 seats are available across three DU Law Centres. DU law centres are approved by the Bar Council of India (BCI) and charge highly subsidized fees — under Rs 15,000 per year — making DU LLB one of the most affordable quality law programmes in the country.

The central Delhi location gives students direct access to the Supreme Court of India, the Delhi High Court, and top law firms, which makes DU LLB a preferred choice for those aiming at litigation, civil services, and corporate law careers.

DU LLB 2026 Important Dates

The CUET PG 2026 exam (LLB paper) was held on March 8, 2026, the result was declared on April 24, 2026, and CSAS PG registration closed on June 7, 2026. Candidates who have registered are now waiting for Round 1 allotment, expected in the last week of June 2026. Upcoming events are listed first in the table below, followed by events that are already over.

Dates for upcoming events are based on the 2025 DU LLB counselling calendar and are subject to change. Check pgadmission.uod.ac.in for official updates.

DU LLB 2026 Eligibility Criteria

To get admission to DU LLB 2026, you must meet the eligibility conditions set by the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. These conditions are verified at the time of document verification — not just at the time of CUET PG registration. Your seat can be cancelled if you fail to meet them at admission.

Educational Qualification

You must have a Bachelor’s degree in any stream from a recognized university. There is no stream restriction — graduates from BA, B.Com, B.Sc., B.Tech, B.Pharm, and all other programmes are eligible. Candidates in the final year of graduation can also appear in CUET PG and apply through CSAS PG — but you must produce your degree or provisional certificate before document verification.

Minimum Marks Required in Graduation

Age Limit

There is no upper age limit for DU LLB 2026. As per Supreme Court of India and Bar Council of India directives, the age cap on 3-year LLB programmes has been removed. Any candidate who has completed or is appearing in graduation can apply regardless of age. There is no minimum age requirement mentioned separately — you are eligible if you have completed a Bachelor’s degree.

Domicile and Number of Attempts

There is no domicile restriction — candidates from any state in India can apply. There is also no limit on the number of attempts. You can appear for CUET PG every year as long as you meet the educational qualification criteria.

Important: Candidates whose graduation results are not declared by the time of document verification must produce proof of passing before the final round of admission. Failure to produce the required marksheet or degree certificate will lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.

DU LLB 2026 Application Process

The DU LLB 2026 admission process has two separate stages — appearing in CUET PG 2026 for the entrance exam, and completing CSAS PG registration for counselling and seat allotment. Both stages are online-only and both have now closed for 2026.

Stage 1: CUET PG 2026 Registration and Exam (Completed)

• Candidates registered on the NTA CUET PG portal and selected Subject Code COQP11 for the LLB paper.
• The CUET PG LLB paper was held on March 8, 2026.
• Results were declared on April 24, 2026.

Stage 2: CSAS PG 2026 Registration (Closed — June 7, 2026)

This is a separate registration from CUET PG, done on the DU portal (pgadmission.uod.ac.in). It is required for DU to process your counselling and seat allotment. Candidates who registered had to follow these steps:

• Step 1 – Login: Log in to pgadmission.uod.ac.in using CUET PG credentials.
• Step 2 – Fill the form: Enter personal details, educational qualifications, category, and contact information accurately.
• Step 3 – Upload documents: Upload a scanned photograph, signature, graduation marksheets or degree certificate, and category certificates if applicable.
• Step 4 – Fill programme preferences: Choose and rank your preferred Law Centres — Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-1, Law Centre-2.
• Step 5 – Pay the registration fee: Pay Rs 250 (General/OBC-NCL/EWS) or Rs 100 (SC/ST/PwBD) online. This fee is non-refundable.

Important: The CSAS PG portal closed on June 7, 2026. No late registrations are accepted. Candidates who did not register by the deadline are not eligible for any DU LLB 2026 seat allotment round.

A mid-entry window is expected to open briefly in the first week of July 2026 for candidates who became newly eligible after June 7 — for example, those whose final graduation results were declared late. Check pgadmission.uod.ac.in for the exact dates and conditions.

Documents Required for CSAS PG Registration

• Graduation degree / provisional certificate or final year marksheet
• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets
• Passport-size photograph (recent, clear background)
• Scanned signature

DU LLB 2026 Admit Card

The DU LLB 2026 admit card was released by NTA as part of CUET PG 2026. Candidates downloaded it from the NTA CUET PG portal before the exam on March 8, 2026. The admit card was available approximately 2–3 weeks before the exam date.

The admit card contained the following details:

• Candidate’s name, roll number, and photograph
• Exam date, shift timing, and reporting time
• Exam centre name and full address
• Subject and domain details (COQP11 — LLB)
• Important instructions for the exam day

Candidates were required to carry a printed copy of the admit card along with a valid government-issued photo ID to the exam centre. The admit card is also useful during CSAS PG registration and document verification — keep a copy safe until your admission process is complete.

For future reference, candidates planning for DU LLB 2027 (CUET PG 2027) should note that the admit card is available only on the NTA CUET PG portal. Log in with your application number and date of birth to download it when the link is active — typically 2–3 weeks before the exam.

DU LLB 2026 Answer Key

NTA released the provisional answer key for CUET PG 2026 (including the LLB paper – COQP11) in March 2026, a few days after the exam. Candidates could raise objections against any question within the challenge window by paying a fee per objection.

After reviewing all valid challenges, NTA published the final answer key in April 2026. This was used to calculate the scores declared on April 24, 2026. Accepted challenges resulted in a fee refund; rejected challenges forfeited the fee.

How Candidates Used the Answer Key

• By downloading the provisional answer key and matching it against their responses, candidates could estimate their score before the official result.
• The formula: Total Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 4) − (Number of Wrong Answers × 1).
• This helped candidates decide whether to proceed with CSAS PG registration while waiting for the official scorecard.

For CUET PG 2027 aspirants: the answer key is available on the NTA portal. Access it within the challenge window (typically 2–4 days) if you want to raise an objection — late objections are not considered under any circumstances.

DU LLB 2026 Seat Allotment

DU LLB 2026 seat allotment is managed entirely through the CSAS PG system. NTA is not involved in seat allotment — the University of Delhi handles this. Your allotment depends on your CUET PG 2026 normalized score, your category, and the preference order you filled during CSAS PG registration.

How Seat Allotment Works

• Seats are filled in descending order of CUET PG 2026 score within each category and Law Centre.
• The system allots you the best available option from your preference list that your score qualifies for at the time of each round.
• If your score meets the cutoff for your first preference, you get that. If not, the system moves to your second preference, and so on.
• If two candidates have the same score, a tiebreaker rule is applied — typically based on date of birth (older candidate gets preference) as specified in the CSAS PG brochure.
• Seats not accepted in one round are released back and become available in the next round.

Actions After Each Allotment Round

Seat Distribution Across Law Centres

Category-wise distribution follows central government norms: General ~40.5%, OBC-NCL 27%, SC 15%, ST 7.5%, EWS 10%, with 5% horizontal reservation for PwD across all categories.

Top Law Centres Under DU LLB 2026

The Faculty of Law, University of Delhi runs the 3-year LLB programme across three Law Centres. All three offer the same curriculum and award a University of Delhi LLB degree — the degree certificate does not mention the specific Law Centre. However, each centre differs in location, demand, and campus culture.

Campus Law Centre is the most sought-after of the three. It consistently attracts the highest-scoring students. Its location on the main North Campus, proximity to the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, and its extensive alumni network in the legal profession make it the top preference for most applicants.

Law Centre-I and Law Centre-II offer the same University of Delhi LLB degree. Many senior advocates, judges, civil servants, and legal scholars have graduated from these centres. The choice between the three does not restrict your career options — it is the same degree from the same university.

Why DU Law Centres Are a Top Choice

• Annual fees under Rs 15,000 — among the lowest for any quality law programme in India
• All three colleges are approved by the Bar Council of India (BCI)
• Delhi location provides direct access to the Supreme Court of India, Delhi High Court, and top law firms
• Faculty includes practising senior advocates, retired judges, and eminent legal scholars
• Active moot court culture, legal aid clinics, and student bar associations
• Strong alumni networks in litigation, civil services, corporate law, and academia

DU LLB 2026 Preparation Tips

If you are planning to appear for DU LLB 2027 (CUET PG 2027), the 2026 exam paper — 75 MCQs, 90 minutes, four sections, +4/-1 marking — is your benchmark. Here are section-wise tips to help you prepare effectively.

Section A: English Language and Comprehension

• Read 2–3 English editorials daily — The Hindu or The Indian Express are good for vocabulary and comprehension practice.
• Practice timed reading comprehension passages — aim for 2–3 passages per day with a 10-minute timer.
• Build vocabulary using word lists and practice antonym-synonym questions regularly.
• Revise basic grammar rules — tenses, subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and articles.

Section B: General Knowledge and Current Affairs

• Read current affairs daily and keep short notes on important national and international events.
• Focus heavily on legal and judicial news — Supreme Court orders, constitutional amendments, and new central laws.
• Study Indian Constitution basics — fundamental rights, Directive Principles, the Judiciary, important articles.
• Review a monthly current affairs compilation covering the last 12 months before your exam date.

Section C: Analytical Abilities and Logical Reasoning

• Practice logical reasoning from standard law entrance exam books — CLAT and AILET papers are a good source.
• Work on coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogisms, and seating arrangements daily.
• Solve 20–30 reasoning questions each day to build speed and accuracy.
• Time yourself — you have around 72 seconds per question in the actual exam.

Section D: Legal Awareness and Aptitude + Computer Knowledge

• Study legal GK from a dedicated law entrance exam book — focus on the Indian Constitution, IPC, CrPC basics, and landmark Supreme Court judgements.
• Learn core legal terms — mens rea, actus reus, habeas corpus, writ petitions, injunctions, tortious liability.
• Practice legal aptitude passages specifically — these give you a fact situation and a stated principle and ask you to apply the principle. This format is unique and requires specific practice.
• For computer knowledge, revise basics — types of memory (RAM, ROM), input/output devices, internet protocols, and MS Office fundamentals.

General Preparation Strategy

• Start at least 4–5 months before the CUET PG exam. CUET PG is typically held in March, so aim to begin by September–October of the previous year.
• Solve previous year CUET PG LLB papers — these give the best idea of actual difficulty and question types.
• Take at least one full mock test per week in the final two months before the exam.
• With a -1 negative marking, do not guess randomly. Skip questions you are very unsure about to protect your score.
