The University of Delhi has announced the admission process for undergraduate applicants seeking admission through the Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) and Sports Supernumerary Quota for the 2026-27 academic session. Unlike the regular admission process, these categories involve practical assessments, which means seat allocation will take place separately after the third round of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS-UG).

Regular Admission Schedule

Candidates can complete subject mapping and submit their preferred courses and colleges until 11:59 PM on July 11. Once the deadline passes, the submitted preferences will be locked automatically.

Applicants can also edit their application details during the correction window available from 10:00 AM on July 10 to 11:59 PM on July 11.

ECA Quota Admissions

Students applying under the ECA quota are expected to participate in physical trials beginning around July 15. The university will publish the final trial schedule and venue details on the admission portal after Phase II concludes. No separate notifications will be sent to applicants.

Applicants may choose up to three ECA categories or sub-categories. They must upload a maximum of five certificates related to their selected activities while submitting the application. Only certificates matching the chosen category will be considered.

Delhi University provides ECA admissions across 14 categories, including:

• Dance
• Music
• Theatre
• Debate
• Creative Writing
• Fine Arts
• Digital Media
• Quiz
• Yoga
• Other approved extracurricular activities

These admissions are expected to begin after the completion of the third round of regular undergraduate seat allocations under CSAS-UG.
