Delhi University Opens Registration for One‑Year Postgraduate Programmes

The move creates an accelerated master’s pathway for DU four‑year graduates with final eligibility set by semester‑8 results.

Overview

  • DU opened Phase‑I registration for one‑year PG programmes on Sunday and will accept Phase‑I entries through July 11 with Phase‑II programme selection to begin only after semester‑8 results determine final eligibility.
  • Only students who completed a four‑year undergraduate degree under DU’s UGCF 2022 as framed by NEP 2020 are eligible to apply and admissions will be granted on the basis of merit and course‑specific criteria.
  • The university separately invited GAT‑B 2026 qualified candidates to apply for its two‑year MSc in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and released other professional admissions notices.
  • DU reported high application volumes with 148,407 undergraduate applications received, 62,524 candidates completing Phase‑II preference submissions, and 9,500 two‑year PG admissions already finalised.
  • The one‑year option is part of DU’s NEP implementation and could speed up students’ entry into advanced study or work while compressing counselling and seat‑acceptance timelines, so semester‑8 results and upcoming allocation deadlines (July 7–8 for law and BTech rounds) will be pivotal.
