What Is the Simulated Rank List?
The simulated rank list is a practice allotment prepared using the preferences submitted by candidates. It helps students understand the college and programme they are likely to receive if admissions were conducted based on the current preference list.
The simulated rank is only indicative and does not guarantee the final allotment. Candidates can still rearrange, add, or remove their preferences before the editing window closes.
Key Changes in College Preferences
The simulated rank data reflects a noticeable change in students' college choices this year.
- Dyal Singh College has entered the top six most preferred colleges for the first time.
- Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) is no longer among the top five preferred colleges.
- Preference trends suggest students are giving greater importance to:
- Placement opportunities
- Campus facilities
- Newly introduced academic programmes
- Overall learning environment
These changes indicate that applicants are exploring a wider range of colleges instead of concentrating on a few traditionally popular institutions.
Steps to Check Simulated Rank
Candidates can view their simulated rank by following these steps:
- Visit the official CSAS UG portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in.
- Log in using your CUET application number and password.
- Open the "Simulated Rank" section on the dashboard.
- Check the college and programme displayed based on your current preferences.
- Click on "Programme and College Preferences".
- Reorder, add, or remove preferences as required.
- Click "Save" to ensure your updated preferences are recorded.
How to Update College Preferences
Candidates who wish to modify their choices should:
- Open the Programme and College Preferences section.
- Reorder colleges and programmes according to preference.
- Add or remove programme choices, if required.
- Click Save before the deadline.
Important: Preferences that are not saved before July 13, 2026, at 4:59 PM will not be considered for the first round of seat allotment.
What Happens After the First Seat Allotment?
The Phase 1 seat allotment will be announced on July 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
Candidates allotted a seat must:
- Accept the allotted seat within the given timeline.
- Complete document verification conducted by the allotted college.
- Pay the admission fee by July 21, 2026 to confirm admission.
Candidates who fail to accept the seat or pay the admission fee within the deadline will lose their allotted seat for that round.
Why Candidates Should Check the Simulated Rank
The simulated rank offers students a final opportunity to review whether their current preference order matches their admission goals. Once the preference editing window closes, no further changes will be allowed before the first seat allotment.
What Candidates Should Do Next
- Check the simulated rank on the CSAS portal.
- Review the displayed college and programme carefully.
- Reorder preferences based on your admission priorities.
- Remove programmes you are not interested in.
- Save the final preference list before the deadline.
- Keep Class 10, Class 12, CUET scorecard, category certificates (if applicable), and other required documents ready.
- Ensure the admission fee is arranged for payment before July 21, 2026.
