After registration closes on May 18, 2026, Delhi University will declare seat allocation results based on the following criteria in order of priority — CLAT 2026 merit score, category of the candidate, availability of seats, and submitted programme preferences.
When a seat is allocated to you, you must log in to your dashboard and click “Accept” within the deadline. Inactivity will be treated as non-acceptance and your seat will be cancelled automatically.
After accepting, the Faculty of Law will verify your documents and either approve or reject your application. If approved, you must pay the admission confirmation fee to finalize your seat.
Upgrade and Freeze Options
After getting admission, every candidate will have two choices:
Upgrade – If you want to try for a higher preference programme in subsequent allocation rounds, select the Upgrade option. Your current seat will be auto-cancelled if you receive a better preference.
Freeze – If you are satisfied with your allocated seat and do not want to participate in further rounds, select Freeze. Once frozen, upgrade option will no longer be available.
