Master Guide to DU Medical Admissions 2026: CW Category Verification for 85% Delhi Quota

The process of getting a medical or healthcare seat in India involves many important steps, strict timelines, and careful document submission. For thousands of students who have qualified NEET UG across the country, staying updated with official announcements is just as important as preparing for the exam.

If you have cleared NEET UG 2026 and want admission in top medical, dental, or AYUSH colleges under the 85% Delhi Quota—especially in the Children/Widows of Armed Forces Personnel (CW) category—this update is important for you.

The Faculty of Medical Sciences, under the University of Delhi, has released an official notice. It explains the required document verification process that all CW category candidates must complete.

Overview of the Official DU FMSC Notice

The official notice released on July 22, 2026, by Assistant Registrar (Medical) Arvind Giri at the Faculty of Medical Sciences signals the start of the undergraduate admission process.

A day earlier, on July 21, 2026, the Medical Counselling Committee, under the Directorate General of Health Services, announced that NEET UG 2026 counselling will begin soon.

In line with this, the University of Delhi has opened its online verification portal. This allows candidates applying under the CW Supernumerary or Concession Quota in the 85% Delhi State Quota to complete their eligibility checks before centralized counselling starts, ensuring a smooth and timely admission process for all applicants.

Key Highlights

Things You Cannot Afford to Miss

1. Mandatory Document Upload: Clearing NEET UG is just the first step toward admission. If you want to claim reservation, relaxation, or benefits under the CW quota in University of Delhi colleges, you must upload all required documents on the official portal. This step is compulsory. If you fail to upload the documents before the deadline, your application will not be considered under the CW category. Instead, you will be treated as a general category candidate or under the normal state quota, without any CW benefits. So, completing this step carefully and on time is very important.

2. Comprehensive Course Coverage (MBBS, BDS & AYUSH): This notice is valid for several medical and healthcare courses under the Delhi State Quota. These include MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BUMS, and BHMS. Whether you aim to study modern medicine like MBBS or BDS, or traditional AYUSH courses, the same rule applies. All CW quota applicants must use this single online portal for document submission.

3. A Strict 7-Day Window: The document submission process is open for only seven days. The last date is July 29, 2026, till 5:00 PM. Any late or incomplete submission will not be accepted.

4. Fully Digital & Online Process: The entire process is online through the Faculty of Medical Sciences portal. No physical visit is required.

Understanding the CW Category (Armed Forces Quota)

1.      Understanding the CW Category

The CW (Children/Widows of Armed Forces Personnel) category is a special reserved quota created to support families of defence personnel. Admission under this category is not only based on your NEET UG rank but also on a fixed priority system set by the Ministry of Defence. This means your chances depend on both your exam performance and your priority level within the CW category.

2. Priority Breakdown (Priority I to IX)

During seat allotment, candidates are considered within their assigned priority group. The order is as follows:
1. Priority I includes widows or children of defence personnel who lost their lives in action.
2. Priority II covers children of personnel who were disabled in action and had to leave service.
3. Priority III includes families of personnel who died during service due to military reasons.
4. Priority IV applies to those disabled during service and released due to that disability.
5. Priority V includes children of personnel awarded gallantry honors like the Param Vir Chakra, Maha Vir Chakra, and others.
6. Priorities VI to IX cover ex-servicemen, serving personnel, and their spouses in different categories.

3.      Important Document Requirement

To claim this quota at the University of Delhi, you must submit a valid Educational Concession Certificate (ECC). It should be issued in the official DU format by authorities like the Kendriya Sainik Board or state/district boards. Other ID cards are not accepted.
