Delhi University has pushed back the online application deadline for its 2026 PhD programmes to 16 September for candidates who have completed a four‑year undergraduate degree.
Delhi University announced that the last date for submitting online applications for its 2026 PhD admissions has been extended to 16 September. The decision was communicated through the university’s official portal, aiming to give eligible candidates additional time to complete their paperwork.
The extension applies specifically to students who have finished a four‑year undergraduate programme, the standard eligibility criterion for the university’s doctoral courses. Applicants must still meet the usual academic and research requirements, and the revised deadline does not alter any other admission parameters.
By moving the deadline, the university hopes to attract a larger pool of qualified candidates and ensure that prospective researchers have sufficient time to gather supporting documents, such as transcripts and research proposals, before applying.
The updated timeline is now live on the Delhi University admissions website, where interested candidates can upload their applications and track their status.
Stakeholders are advised to adhere to the new deadline of 16 September to avoid disqualification, as no further extensions have been indicated.
