Additionally, starting with the 2023–2024 academic year, DU will administer PG course admissions via CUET–PG. In contrast, admission to some UG and all PG courses in the academic year 2022–23 was contingent on passing DU entrance tests, such as the Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) or the Delhi University LLB Entrance Exam, which were both followed by a personal interview (PI). Candidates who wish to apply for admission to Delhi University in 2023 at any of the more than 90 DU-affiliated or constituent colleges must first register for CUET before proceeding to the DU Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal.

For UG programme admission to the University of Delhi, CSAS will be used. However, in order to be eligible for admission, applicants must first choose DU when filling out their CUET forms and then submit their applications via the CSAS portal.
