Note: Exact start and last dates for UG and PG application windows are not confirmed here because publicly available reports currently disagree with each other (some cite early June 2026, others cite dates through late July 2026), and none of them link back to a verifiable official SOL notification. Rather than guess, candidates should treat the live status on the official SOL portal - not third-party blogs - as the final word on whether applications for a specific course are open and until when.

DU SOL Admission 2026 Important Dates

Candidates are advised to check the "Continue to Sol Website" and admission notice sections on sol.du.ac.in regularly, as the university updates course-wise deadlines individually rather than a single common date for all programmes.

Not available: Official, confirmed seat/vacancy numbers for each course are not published in the sources checked for this article. Seat intake at SOL is generally not capped course-wise in the way regular DU colleges are, since SOL follows an open admission model for most UG courses - but this should be verified against the current prospectus for exact figures.

Eligibility for UG Courses

• Candidates must have passed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognized board.
• Relevant subject combinations may be required depending on the specific UG programme (for example, Economics-related subjects for BA Hons Economics).
• There is generally no upper age limit for UG admission at SOL.
• Minimum qualifying percentage requirements are typically set separately for general and reserved categories, with relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates - the exact percentage should be confirmed against the current year's official prospectus, as different reports currently cite slightly different figures.

Eligibility for PG Courses

• Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree from a recognized university in a relevant discipline.
• Minimum aggregate marks requirements apply, with relaxation for reserved categories - exact percentage should be verified from the official prospectus.
• For MBA admission, a bachelor's degree is required; whether a minimum work experience is mandatory is inconsistently reported across sources and is not confirmed here - check the official MBA prospectus before assuming eligibility.

Is CUET PG Required for DU SOL?

PG admission at SOL generally combines merit-based and entrance-based routes. Reports indicate that admission to several PG programmes considers CUET PG scores alongside a merit list based on qualifying degree marks, while MBA and MLISc admissions are typically handled through separate merit/entrance processes specific to those courses. The exact seat-split between CUET PG and merit-based admission for the current cycle is not confirmed in the sources reviewed - candidates should check the official notification for their specific course.

DU SOL Course Fee Structure

DU SOL fees vary significantly by programme and are generally lower than regular full-time DU colleges, reflecting its distance/open learning model. Reported ranges across multiple sources are broadly consistent in direction but vary in exact figures, so the numbers below should be treated as an indicative range, not a confirmed fee schedule.

Not available: A single, official, confirmed fee chart for the 2026-27 session was not found in the sources checked. Always verify exact fees on the official SOL fee payment page or the current prospectus before making any payment.

DU SOL Application Fee 2026

The registration/application fee is commonly reported as approximately INR 500 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS candidates, with a reduced fee for SC/ST/PwBD candidates. However, the exact concession amount is reported inconsistently across sources (figures ranging from INR 100 to INR 300 appear), so the precise reserved-category fee is not confirmed here. Candidates should check the fee amount displayed on the application form itself before payment, as this is generated automatically based on the category selected.

Documents Required for DU SOL Admission 2026

• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates (for UG applicants)
• Graduation mark sheets/degree certificate (for PG applicants)
• Passport-size photograph and signature (scanned, as per specified format)
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD), if applicable
• Valid ID proof (Aadhaar card or equivalent)
• Migration certificate, if applicable
• ABC ID (Academic Bank of Credits) and DEB ID, as required under NEP 2020 guidelines
• Income certificate, only where specifically required for certain fee concessions

Candidates should also be prepared to present physical/original documents at a later verification stage, as several DU SOL admission cycles have required this step.
