DU SOL Admit Card 2026: Download Hall Ticket, Login Steps and Exam Day Guide
Login steps, barcode help, photo and signature fixes and what to carry on exam day
The DU SOL admit card (also called the hall ticket) is not out yet for the December 2026 exams. As of 1 November 2026, the official SOL website still shows “Hall Ticket / Admit Card Coming Soon”.
When it goes live, you will download it with your SOL roll number and barcode. This guide shows how to get ready now, what to do if the page does not open, and what to carry on exam day.
Quick Answer
Open sol.du.ac.in, click the hall ticket link once it is live, enter your SOL roll number and barcode, then download and print the PDF. Check your name, photo, signature, papers and exam centre before you leave home.
- Status: Coming soon on the official site.
- You need: SOL roll number and barcode. Newer students may use the MEDHASETU dashboard.
- Carry on exam day: A printed admit card and a valid photo ID.
- Problem with photo, signature or details: Call the SOL helpdesk on 011-65213030 or 011-35663474.
When Will the DU SOL Admit Card 2026 Be Released?
Usually a few days to about two weeks before your first paper. No release date has been announced for the December 2026 cycle.
The Dec/Jan 2026-27 date sheet is listed on the DU Examination Wing website. Reports say the SOL PDFs are still marked tentative. For B.A. Programme and B.Com (Hons) SOL, those PDFs show Semester VII from 5 December 2026, Semester V from 6 December, Semester III from 13 December and Semester I from 3 January 2027. These can change, so always re-check your own programme’s PDF on our DU SOL date sheet page and the official site.
Past cycles give a rough idea. For the May 2026 exams, reports put the release on 13 May and the first paper on 16 May. In December 2025, the hall ticket was due two days before the first paper. So do not wait for a long notice.
How Do I Download the DU SOL Admit Card 2026?
Use only the link shown on the official SOL homepage, then log in with your roll number and barcode. Do not use links from random messages.
- Open sol.du.ac.in on a laptop or phone.
- Find the Hall Ticket / Admit Card tile. Right now it says coming soon.
- Enter your SOL roll number exactly as printed, with dashes and no spaces.
- Enter your barcode number.
- Click the button to show your hall ticket.
- Save the PDF and print it clearly on A4 paper.
Why does the format matter? The official SOL login page shows the roll number format as YY-C-SS-RRRRRR (year, college, semester and roll). A missing dash or an extra space is a common reason for a “not found” message.
What Is the DU SOL Hall Ticket Login Process for Different Batches?
It depends on your admission year. The official homepage now splits students into groups.
| Student group | Where the homepage sends you for the exam form |
|---|---|
| UG admitted before 2025 (including special chance, ex-students) | The older exam form portal, which uses roll number and barcode |
| UG and PG admitted from 2025 onwards | The MEDHASETU student dashboard |
| 4th year programme students | A separate 4th year exam form link |
| PG programmes such as MA History, MA Political Science, MA Hindi, MA Sanskrit, MCom, BLISc, MLISc, PGDADLM and MBA | The PG student login page (roll number and barcode) |
Which page the hall ticket link opens will be clear once it goes live. Follow the link on the homepage for your batch. Older cycles used a roll number and barcode on the hall ticket page, but SOL has changed portals before.
Do I Need to Fill the Exam Form Before I Can Get the Admit Card?
Yes, in general. The hall ticket is meant for students who have filled the exam form and paid the fee. Reports on past cycles say students who missed the form could not get a hall ticket.
The Examination Branch has extended the UG and PG exam form date to 15 November 2026, from the original 30 September, according to recent reports. If you have not filled it, check the homepage today. Deadlines matter more than the release date of the card.
What Details Do I Need to Download the DU SOL Admit Card?
You need your SOL roll number and barcode. Newer students on MEDHASETU may need an exam roll number or SOL roll number and a password or control number instead.
- SOL roll number (format YY-C-SS-RRRRRR)
- Barcode, printed on your SOL records or ID-related documents
- Registered mobile number, in case you must recover your barcode
How Do I Find My DU SOL Barcode Number or Roll Number?
Use the “Know Your Barcode” link on the official login page. The official exam form page has a “Forgot Barcode? Click Here To Know Your Barcode” option.
If the recovery option does not work, or your mobile number is not registered, call the helpdesk. SOL lists it as Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM on 011-65213030 and 011-35663474. Keep your roll number and a photo ID ready when you call.
New students who just got their admission will receive these details after the process is completed. The DU SOL admission page explains the steps up to that point.
Why Is My DU SOL Admit Card Not Showing?
The most common reason is simple: it has not been released, or your exam form or fee is incomplete. Go through this list in order.
| Problem | Likely reason | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Link says coming soon | Hall ticket not released yet | Check the homepage and notices daily as the first paper gets closer |
| Roll number not found | Wrong format, space, or wrong portal for your batch | Type it as YY-C-SS-RRRRRR and use the link for your batch |
| Barcode not working | Wrong barcode | Use “Know Your Barcode” on the official page |
| Page blank or not loading | Heavy traffic near exam time | Try another browser or device, or try again later |
| Details load but no card | Exam form or fee not completed | Check your exam form status and contact the helpdesk |
Near exam time, thousands of students log in together. In that case, avoid sharing your roll number and barcode in public groups, and do not use a third-party link to “download faster”.
What Should I Do If My Photo or Signature Is Missing on the Admit Card?
Contact the SOL helpdesk immediately. Reports on past hall tickets say students who found a wrong or missing photo or signature were advised to use the helpline.
I could not find an official written procedure for fixing these errors, so I will not promise a timeline. Here is the practical plan:
- Download the card and take a screenshot of the error.
- Call 011-65213030 or 011-35663474 on a working day.
- Keep your roll number, a photo ID and a recent photo ready.
- Ask what you should carry to the exam centre while they fix it.
- Do this days before your paper, not the night before.
If your name is spelled wrong on the card, the fix is bigger. Read the DU SOL name correction process and start early.
What Details Should I Check on My DU SOL Admit Card?
Check everything printed, line by line, as soon as you download it. An error found early can be fixed. An error found at the gate usually cannot.
- Name and father’s name
- Photo and signature
- SOL roll number and exam roll number
- Programme and semester
- Paper names and codes
- Exam dates and timings
- Exam centre name and address, and the instructions printed on the card
Match the paper list with your exam form and your date sheet. If a paper is missing, tell the helpdesk right away.
Which Exams Need a DU SOL Admit Card?
All end-semester theory exams at the exam centre. That covers UG programmes such as B.A. Programme, B.A. (Hons), B.Com and B.Com (Hons), and PG programmes such as MA, MCom and MBA. It also covers ex-student and special chance exams, which have their own exam form routes.
The online MCQ internal assessment is different. It is taken on the Pragyan portal and needs a login, not a hall ticket. The DU SOL assignment and internal assessment guide covers it in detail. The open book exam was a COVID-era format and is not the regular mode now. You can read the old rules in our DU SOL open book exam FAQ.
What Should I Carry With the DU SOL Admit Card on Exam Day?
Carry a printed admit card and a valid photo ID. Reports on past cycles list a SOL ID card, Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence as accepted proof. Your own admit card instructions come first, so read them.
- Printed admit card, plus one spare copy
- Original photo ID
- Pens and the items listed in your card’s instructions
- The address of your exam centre saved on your phone
Plan your trip before the day. SOL exams are held in two sessions, usually 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, as in the December 2025 cycle reported by The Tribune. Your card shows your actual slot. Reach early, because finding the room takes time in a big centre.
If an exam is postponed, keep the same card unless SOL says otherwise, and follow our DU SOL exam postponed updates.
How Should I Prepare While Waiting for the Hall Ticket?
Use the wait well. Check your papers in the DU SOL syllabus, then practise with previous year question papers. BA students can also use DU SOL BA question papers, and BCom students the SOL DU BCom question papers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DU SOL hall ticket the same as the admit card?
Yes. Both words mean the same document, and SOL pages use them interchangeably.
Can I get the DU SOL admit card by post?
I found no mention of postal delivery. The hall ticket is meant to be downloaded and printed by you.
Will SOL inform me by SMS when the admit card is out?
SOL has sent SMS alerts for other notices in the past, but do not rely on one. Check the official homepage yourself.
Is the process different for BA and BCom students?
The download steps are the same. What differs is your date sheet, papers and centre, so check your own programme’s schedule.
Can I download the admit card on my phone?
Yes, if the page opens. Save the PDF and print it later. A phone screen copy alone is not safe to rely on at the centre.
What Should I Do Next?
Today, confirm your exam form is complete and note your roll number and barcode. Check sol.du.ac.in daily as the first paper gets near. The moment the card is live, download it, check every detail, and call the helpdesk if anything is wrong.
