Important Dates for DTU MBA Admission 2026

The CMAC 2026 brochure gives a tentative admission schedule. Applicants should still check the CMAC portal regularly because the brochure itself states that the schedule is tentative.

Eligibility Criteria for DTU MBA Admission 2026

For DTU MBA under CMAC 2026, a candidate must have passed any bachelor degree examination with minimum 60% marks in aggregate or equivalent CGPA from a recognized university or institution. A valid CAT-2025, MAT-2025, or MAT-2026 score is also required.

There is a relaxation of 10% in minimum marks for SC, ST, and PD candidates. The degree must be from a university incorporated by an Act of the central or state legislature, an institution established by an Act of Parliament, a deemed university under the UGC Act, 1956, or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.

Candidates appearing in the final semester or final year may also apply, but they must later produce proof that they meet the eligibility requirement by the date prescribed by the university. If the university or institute does not provide a CGPA conversion formula, the brochure states that equivalent percentage will be computed as CGPA multiplied by 10.

Accepted Entrance Scores and Score Rules

DTU MBA admission through CMAC 2026 accepts CAT-2025, MAT-2025, and MAT-2026 scores. The brochure makes it clear that applications are shortlisted on the basis of these scores only.

The merit process gives priority to CAT candidates first. After valid CAT-2025 candidates are exhausted, candidates with valid MAT-2025 or MAT-2026 percentile are considered. If a candidate has appeared in both MAT-2025 and MAT-2026, the higher of the two percentiles is taken for merit preparation.

The brochure also states that the cut-off for CAT-2025 and MAT-2025/2026 will be decided by the CMAC committee. As of the current brochure, the specific cut-off percentile is not yet announced.

How the Selection Process Works

The selection process has three practical stages: shortlisting based on entrance score, personal interview and document verification, and then merit-based allotment.

The final merit list is prepared using the following weightage structure:

Candidates who do not attend the personal interview and document verification are not considered for the final merit list. In case of a tie, the candidate with the higher entrance percentile is ranked higher. If the tie still remains, the older candidate is ranked higher. If there is still a tie after that, random number is used to break it.

DTU MBA Seat Matrix and Reservation

The CMAC 2026 seat matrix shows that Delhi School of Management, DTU has 270 MBA seats. In addition, the brochure mentions 1 supernumerary seat for Kashmiri Migrant candidates.

The brochure also applies reservation norms for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, and EWS categories, with horizontal reservation under CW and PD categories. If a candidate claims a reserved category or sub-category, the original valid certificate has to be produced at the time of document verification.

Interview, Document Verification and Certificates

Shortlisted candidates have to appear for personal interview and document verification in physical mode. The brochure says the venue and exact details for the same will be announced on the admission website. Merely applying is not enough; a candidate who skips the interview or document verification stage is excluded from the final merit list.

For eligibility and verification, the brochure clearly expects candidates to be able to prove their bachelor degree eligibility and produce a valid CAT or MAT score. For reserved categories and sub-categories, the original and valid certificate issued by the competent authority is mandatory at verification.

For OBC-NCL and EWS candidates, the brochure specifically allows submission of an older certificate and undertaking at the application stage, but the final certificate to be shown at personal interview and document verification must be issued after 31 March 2026.

Fees, Seat Acceptance, Upgradation and Spot Round

The registration fee is Rs. 1,500 plus transaction fee. After seat allotment in any counselling round, the candidate must pay a part admission fee of Rs. 1,00,000 within the notified schedule. If the fee is not paid in time, the allotted seat is cancelled automatically.

The brochure also states that such candidates will not be considered for subsequent seat allotment rounds, except for the spot round. Before later rounds begin, candidates are automatically considered for upgradation based on their entered preferences, rank, eligibility, and seat availability.

A spot round may be conducted if seats remain vacant. The brochure also mentions that fresh applications against vacant seats may be invited under an alternative criterion in the spot round, and a special spot round may be conducted separately by the respective university depending on vacancies.

What Happens After DTU Seat Allotment

Once a candidate is provisionally allotted DTU in a counselling round and pays the required part admission fee, the next step is reporting and final verification as per the schedule. The brochure lists 23 July 2026 to 24 July 2026 for reporting of candidates for verification and issue of allotment letter.

After final allotment, admitted candidates must visit the allotted university for physical verification of original documents, commencement-related formalities, and payment of the balance fee, if any, as per the respective university schedule. If the candidate fails to pay the balance fee according to the university's payment schedule, the admission stands cancelled.

The last date of admission mentioned in the brochure is 7 August 2026. This date is also relevant for withdrawal and refund reference purposes.
