DU 2nd Cut Off 2026 — Overview

The University of Delhi released the Round 2 (Second) Cut Off / Seat Allocation List of CSAS-UG 2026 on 25 July 2026 at 12:00 Noon on admission.uod.ac.in. Unlike the traditional fixed “cutoff list” system DU followed before 2022, admission is now score-and-preference based under CSAS — so the “2nd cut off” here effectively means the minimum CUET UG 2026 score at which a candidate got allotted a particular college-programme-category combination in Round 2. This round covered both fresh allotments (for candidates who got nothing in Round 1) and upgrades (for candidates who had chosen “Float” after Round 1).

Freeze, Float/Upgrade & Slide — What Do These Options Mean?

Option What It Means for You
Freeze You’re satisfied with your current seat — accept it as final. You won’t be considered for further upgrades in future rounds.
Float/Upgrade You retain your current seat but remain eligible for a higher preference in the next round, based on your rank and vacancies.
Important: If you get upgraded to a better preference in a later round, your earlier seat is automatically forfeited — this switch cannot be reversed, so choose your preference order carefully.

What Factors Affect DU CUET Cut Off Marks?

  • Total number of CUET UG test-takers for the given subject combination
  • Total number of seats available in that programme/college/category
  • Category of the candidate (UR/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD)
  • Overall difficulty level of the CUET UG 2026 exam
  • Number of candidates who chose “Float” vs “Freeze” in the previous round (directly affects how many seats open up)
  • Popularity and reputation of the specific college and programme combination

Still Not Allotted a Seat? Here’s What Comes Next

  • DU has confirmed further allocation rounds will follow if seats remain vacant after Round 2
  • Your registration and preferences automatically carry forward — no fresh registration is needed for subsequent rounds
  • Keep checking admission.uod.ac.in regularly for the next round’s schedule and vacant seat matrix
  • Use this time to research less-competitive programme-college combinations you may not have initially considered, and update your preference list accordingly
  • Historical trend: DU’s later rounds (3rd round, mid-entry, spot rounds) have consistently filled additional thousands of seats in previous years — so don’t lose hope after Round 2
