Delhi University PhD Direct Route
Delhi University Extends PhD Deadline and Introduces Direct Admission for Graduates
Anonymous
The University of Delhi has extended the 2026 PhD admission registration deadline to September 16 for students who completed four-year undergraduate programs under the NEP 2020 and UGCF frameworks. The university is also offering a one-time direct PhD admission route for eligible FYUP graduates, allowing them to apply without a master’s degree; applicants generally need at least a 7.5 CGPA, while the threshold is 7 CGPA for SC and ST candidates. Registration, fee payment and research-proposal updates must be completed by the revised deadline through DU’s admission portal, and applicants should verify their personal, academic and proposal details before submitting. Candidates are advised to check the portal regularly for department-specific schedules and further updates.
