DU One Year PG 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment Out — Accept Your Seat by August 6, Fee Payment Till August 9
Delhi University has declared the Round 1 seat allotment for its One Year PG Programme on August 5, 2026. Allotted candidates have barely a day to act: the seat must be accepted by August 6, 2026, and the admission fee paid by August 9, 2026, on pgportal.uod.ac.in. This is the first-ever cycle of the programme, built for graduates of the four-year undergraduate degree under UGCF 2022 and NEP 2020.
What Happened: DU's First One Year PG Allotment Goes Live
Delhi University released the Round 1 seat allotment result for its One Year PG Programme on August 5, 2026.
The programme is a first for the University. It is aimed squarely at students who have completed the four-year Undergraduate Programme under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF) 2022, itself built on the National Education Policy 2020.
Under NEP 2020, a student who finishes a four-year honours or honours-with-research degree can complete a master's degree in one year instead of two. DU's 2026-27 cycle is the first intake to actually use that route, because 2026 is the first year a full cohort of four-year UGCF graduates exists.
Two deadlines follow immediately. Seat acceptance closes on August 6, 2026. Fee payment closes on August 9, 2026.

Who Is Eligible for the One Year PG Programme
The One Year PG Programme is not a general-entry postgraduate course. It is reserved for a specific cohort.
- Candidates who have completed the four-year Undergraduate Programme under UGCF 2022 at Delhi University or an equivalent framework.
- The four-year degree must be aligned with the NEP 2020 structure that permits a one-year master's.
- Candidates holding a three-year bachelor's degree are not covered by this route and continue through the regular two-year PG admission process.
How to Accept Your Seat and Complete Admission
Not Allotted a Seat? Here Is What Comes Next
Candidates who did not receive an allotment in Round 1 stay in the process. Round 2 allotment, an upgrade round and vacant-seat lists are expected on admission.uod.ac.in, where DU has been publishing the One Year PG notice trail — including the revised seat matrix on July 31, the distribution of seats and class on August 1, and the admission notification on August 3, 2026.
Exact dates for those rounds had not been announced as of August 5, 2026. In previous DU cycles, subsequent PG rounds have followed within a week to ten days of the preceding round.
What Students Should Do Next
- Today: log in to pgportal.uod.ac.in and check your allotment status.
- By August 6: accept the seat. There is no extension mechanism for an individual candidate.
- By August 9: pay the admission fee and download the receipt.
- Keep your four-year UG degree marksheets, provisional certificate and category certificate scanned and ready for verification.
- Watch admission.uod.ac.in for the Round 2 and upgrade round notices.
- If you are also holding an offer at another university, decide early — a seat held and abandoned blocks another student and may attract withdrawal conditions.
