 Current 2026-27 Status – What Semester 3 Students Need to Know
The University of Delhi Examination Wing issued a notification on 1 September 2026 for examination forms covering Semester I/III/V/VII/IX for the December/January 2026-27 session.
DU SOL Semester III classes are already active in the 2026-27 timetable cycle, with official Semester III schedules published for current programmes.
Students from Academic Year 2025 onwards should use Medha Setu for the student dashboard. The current Medha Setu screen asks for SOL Roll Number / Exam Roll Number + Password / Control Number.
Do not rely on the old June-July “anticipated dates” table. Follow the current official examination-form notification and your live dashboard.

If you joined DU SOL in 2025-26 and are now moving into Semester 3, this page is for you. The biggest thing to understand is that “3rd Semester Admission” is not a fresh admission into DU SOL. For continuing students, the practical process now revolves around the correct student dashboard, the current odd-semester examination form, subject/paper details, classes and academic resources.

The older version of this article used tentative June-August dates, a universal enrollment-number/mobile login, fixed IA dates and broad subject rules. Those details are now outdated or too general. This update keeps the useful search intent but aligns the page with the current 2026-27 student workflow.

What Is DU SOL 3rd Semester Admission in 2026-27?

For a continuing student, Semester 3 is the start of the second academic year. It should not be confused with the fresh UG admission process. In practice, you need to make sure your student record is active, use the correct dashboard, complete the current examination-form requirements for Semester III, verify your papers and then follow your timetable and academic notices.

 Use the Right Term
Students often search “DU SOL 3rd Semester Admission”, so that phrase is useful for finding the page.
But the current student task is better understood as continuing-student Semester III registration / exam-form activity, not a brand-new admission application.

Who Should Use This Guide?

  • Students admitted in the 2025-26 academic year who are moving into Semester III in 2026-27.
  • B.A. Programme, B.Com and other eligible UG students whose current academic record places them in Semester III.
  • Students who need the current odd-semester exam-form route, Medha Setu login, Semester III classes or paper-selection guidance.
  • Students with an older/legacy record should first identify the portal that applies to their batch instead of assuming Medha Setu is universal.

Promotion to the next academic year can depend on the rules applicable to your admission batch and academic record. Do not assume that one backlog or one result code automatically guarantees or blocks promotion. If your dashboard does not permit the expected action, verify the current University rule and contact the official support channel.

Current Semester III Exam Form Update – September 2026

The University of Delhi Examination Wing has already issued the current odd-semester examination-form notification dated 1 September 2026. It covers Regular, NCWEB and SOL students of Semester I/III/V/VII/IX for the December/January 2026-27 session.

 Do Not Use the Old 2026 Date Table
The previous article listed June-July opening dates, July/August deadlines and an August-September IA window as anticipated dates.
Those dates are stale. Use the current DU Examination Wing notification and the live student dashboard for the exact schedule, fee and correction window.

For a detailed exam-form walkthrough, use our DU SOL Exam Form 2026 guide and compare it with the latest official notice before submitting anything.

Medha Setu Login for 3rd Semester Students

The current Medha Setu login page is labelled for “2025 Admission Onwards”. It asks for your SOL Roll Number or Exam Roll Number in the first field, and Password or Control Number in the second field, followed by a captcha.

  • Know Your Control Number
  • Forgot Password
  • Know Your SOL Roll Number

 Old Login Advice to Avoid
Do not tell every 2025-26 student to log in with Enrollment Number + registered mobile number. That is not what the current Medha Setu sign-in screen asks for.
Do not use the old barcode-generation route as a universal fix for every “No Record Found” message. First confirm that you are using the correct portal for your batch and service.

How to Complete the Semester 3 Process – Mobile-Friendly Steps

Step 1 – Open the Correct Dashboard: If you are from Academic Year 2025 onwards, start with the official Medha Setu student dashboard.

Step 2 – Check Your Student Record: Confirm that your roll number, programme and current semester information are correct before proceeding.

Step 3 – Open the Current Examination Form: Use the service enabled for your batch and follow the September 2026 odd-semester examination-form notification.

Step 4 – Verify Your Papers: Read every paper/subject shown before submission. Do not choose a paper simply because it appeared in a friend’s form.

Step 5 – Check the Payable Amount: Use the amount generated by the official system. If a fee is required, pay only through the authorised portal.

Step 6 – Save Proof: Download the acknowledgement/receipt and keep the transaction details and a screenshot for your records.

Step 7 – Check Classes and Academic Resources: Once your Semester III record is active, open the current timetable, syllabus and study material for your exact programme.

DU SOL Semester 3 Subjects – What You Should Actually Check

The old article gave one fixed structure to every B.A. Programme student. That is too broad. Under UGCF/NEP, paper categories can include discipline/core papers and components such as AEC, SEC, VAC or electives, but the exact set depends on your programme, discipline combination, batch and semester.

 Best Rule for Subject Selection
Use the paper list shown in your official student/exam-form record as the immediate reference.
Match paper names and codes with the current syllabus/course structure.
Do not copy another student’s combination even if both of you are in B.A. Programme.

For current subject structures, use our DU SOL Syllabus 2026 guide. For unit-wise PDFs and academic resources, use the DU SOL Study Material 2026 hub.

DU SOL Semester 3 Classes 2026-27 – Current Status

Semester III classes are no longer “expected” — the 2026-27 class cycle is active. The official SOL Program Timetable page currently lists Semester III schedules, and DU SOL is publishing course/centre-wise timetables in phases.

That means two students can receive different class schedules depending on programme, centre and batch. Always use the PDF that matches your own course and semester.

For the latest centres, modes and timetable PDFs, read DU SOL Classes 2026-27.

What About Internal Assessment for Semester 3?

Do not use the old August 15–September 15 IA window as a current confirmed schedule. Internal Assessment instructions are issued through the relevant official notice/portal for the applicable batch and semester. The exact platform, paper availability and submission dates should be checked when the current Semester III IA notice is published.

 IA Safety Check
Do not submit through an old bookmarked IA link just because it worked in a previous semester.
Match your programme, semester and paper code on the current official notice before attempting an assessment.

Common Semester 3 Problems and What to Do

Medha Setu says invalid credentials
Use the current roll-number + Password/Control Number format and use the official recovery options instead of guessing.

Semester III option is not visible
Confirm your academic record, batch and current exam-form notice. If the official window is active but your account still does not show the expected option, contact support.

Wrong subject/paper is displayed
Do not submit blindly. Keep a screenshot and raise the issue before the correction/submission window closes.

Payment deducted but status is pending
Do not immediately pay again. Save the transaction ID and receipt/screenshot, then recheck the dashboard and contact support if it remains unresolved.

Friend’s timetable is live but mine is not
Schedules are released programme-wise and centre-wise. Check the official timetable page for your exact Semester III programme.

Backlog/ER from an earlier semester
Use the current reappear/exam-form rules for that paper instead of assuming the Semester III page automatically includes every backlog.

If you have an uncleared paper, check the DU SOL Reappear Form 2026 guide before selecting an ER/reappear paper in the current exam cycle.

What to Do After Your Semester 3 Registration / Exam Form

  • Save your acknowledgement and any fee receipt.
  • Check your Semester III class timetable and study centre.
  • Download the correct syllabus and Self-Learning Material for your papers.
  • Watch for the current Internal Assessment notice instead of using an old schedule.
  • Check the official examination notifications for corrections, extensions and later datesheet updates.
  • Keep your dashboard credentials and recovery details safe.

Final Words

DU SOL 3rd Semester Admission 2026-27 is best understood as a continuing-student Semester III process, not a new admission. The September 2026 odd-semester exam-form notification is already live, Semester III classes are active, and 2025-onwards students have the Medha Setu dashboard. Your job is to use the correct portal, verify your papers, save your submission proof and follow only current official notices for exam form, IA and class schedules.
