Delhi University expands its 2026 undergraduate admissions that are based on Class 12 marks by adding nine more colleges to the merit route. The DU admission process begins with this Class 12 performance-based selection in additional institutions, with colleges listing their specific courses and eligibility details.
Across reports, the expanded admissions route is described as not requiring candidates to take the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). One outlet notes the total number of participating colleges under this method has grown to thirty-five, after an earlier set of twenty-six was notified. The newly added colleges increase the overall coverage of the Class 12 marks-based system.
The outlets also emphasize that eligibility and programme specifics can vary by course and are therefore to be checked on the respective college websites. While both sources agree on the addition of nine colleges and the CUET exemption for this pathway, they differ mainly in how they frame the scale of expansion—one focuses on the nine new colleges, while the other summarizes the full count and the timeline of earlier notices.
