The conference, in six facts

Everything below is printed in the 2026 brochure. Where the brochure is silent, this page says so rather than guessing.

Dates

23, 24 and 25 November 2026

Three days, Monday to Wednesday.

Venue

PSSEMRS Campus, Tolahunse, Davangere

The same campus that hosted DMUN 2025.

Six

Five debating committees and the International Press.

Registration fee

No payment is taken on this page.

Who it is for

School students

First-time delegates are expected and provided for.

Executive Board

Seven chairs and speakers

Law students and advocates from the Bengaluru MUN circuit.

Never done a Model UN before?

Good. That is who this is for. Here is the whole idea in four steps.

  1. You are given someone to be

    A country, a Member of Parliament, an MLA. You are not arguing your own opinion — you are arguing theirs, which is harder and far more interesting.

  2. You are given something to solve

    Your committee has one agenda, printed on this page weeks in advance. You read around it before you arrive, and that reading is most of the preparation.

  3. You debate it in committee

    You speak when the chair recognises you, you answer questions you did not see coming, and you negotiate in the corridors between sessions.

  4. The committee agrees something — or does not

    You draft a resolution together and vote on it. Either outcome is a real outcome. Nobody is scored on being agreeable.

Six committees

Five committees debate a published agenda. The sixth, the International Press, covers the other five. You will give up to three preferences when you register.

What it looked like last year

DMUN 2025 ran on 12 and 13 December 2025 at the PSSEMRS Campus, Tolahunse — two days, six committees. The 2026 edition is three.

Eight people on stage at DMUN 2025 in front of a printed backdrop headed PSSEMR School, Tolahunse Davangere, listing six committees — General Assembly, World Health Organization, Lok Sabha and Karnataka Legislative Assembly among them — and the dates December 12 and 13, 2025. A roll-up banner at the left introduces the chairperson of the UNGA.

General Assembly · World Health Organization · Lok Sabha · Karnataka Legislative Assembly — four of the six committees named on the banner. The remaining two are obscured in every supplied photograph, so they are not listed here.

What you leave with

Awards at DMUN 2025 were presented on stage on the closing day, and every delegate photographed in the award line-up is holding a certificate.

  • A certificate

    Issued to delegates at the closing ceremony, as in the 2025 photographs on this page.

  • Committee awards

    Decided by your Executive Board and presented on stage. The 2026 brochure does not publish the categories — the secretariat confirms them at the opening session.

  • Three days of practice

    Speaking under time pressure to a room that can interrupt you. There is not much else in a school year that does this.

Register as a delegate

₹500 per delegate for all three days. This form does not take payment — it reserves your name. The secretariat confirms your committee and tells you how to pay.

Fields marked with * are required. Everything else is optional — fill in what you know now, and the secretariat will ask for the rest.

About you
Ten digits. We call this number about your committee.
Where you study
Committee preferences

The secretariat allots committees. Giving a second and third preference makes it much more likely you get one of them.

A country, a named legislator, or a press role. We cannot promise it, but we will try.
Used only to spread first-time delegates evenly. It does not affect your allotment.
If your school is sending a group

Every delegate fills this form separately. These three help the secretariat plan rooms and reach an adult if they need to.

An estimate is fine.
A second number we can reach if yours is unavailable.
Anything else

Your details go to the DMUN secretariat at PSSEMR School and are used to allot your committee and contact you about the conference. They are not sold, and not shared with anyone outside the school.

Dates and timings

Start and finish times for each day are not printed in the brochure. The secretariat confirms the schedule with registered delegates before the conference.

Accommodation for outstation delegates is not covered in the brochure. The registration form has an optional box for it so the secretariat can see how many delegates need help — ticking it is a request, not a booking.

Talk to a person

If you have a question this page does not answer — eligibility, payment, travel, or anything a parent needs confirmed before you register — call the school.

Questions, answered honestly

Who can register for DMUN 2026?

DMUN 2026 is a conference for school students, and the 2025 edition drew delegates across school years — the photographs on this page include both senior and junior students. The brochure does not print a minimum class, so if you are unsure whether yours qualifies, call the school office before you pay.

Do I need Model UN experience to take part?

No. Every committee at DMUN 2025 included delegates attending their first conference. The Executive Board runs the rules of procedure from the front of the room and explains them at the start of each session, so you learn the format in committee rather than before it.

How much does it cost, and what does the fee cover?

The registration fee is ₹500 per delegate for all three days, as printed in the 2026 brochure. The brochure does not itemise what the fee includes, so if you need that confirmed — meals in particular — ask the school office before paying.

How do I pay the registration fee?

You do not pay on this website. This form reserves your name only; no payment details are collected here and no card or UPI page is linked. The secretariat contacts you after you register and tells you how to pay.

Which committee will I be allotted?

You give up to three committee preferences when you register and the secretariat allots the committees. Preferences are not a guarantee — committee sizes have to balance — but giving a second and third preference makes it much more likely you get one of them.

Can my school send a whole delegation?

Yes. Each delegate fills in the form separately so that every delegate has their own record and committee allotment, and there is an optional box for the name of the teacher accompanying the group. If you are organising a group, put the expected number in the delegation-size field so the secretariat can plan room sizes.

What should I wear?

Western or Indian formals is the convention at this conference: every delegate in the 2025 photographs on this page is in formal dress. You do not need to buy anything specially — a plain shirt and trousers, or an equivalent, is enough.

What should I bring with me?

Bring something to write with and on, and your school identity card. Delegates at DMUN 2025 worked from printed committee documents and handwritten notes, which are visible in the photographs on this page. The secretariat will tell you before the conference if anything else is needed.

Is accommodation available for outstation delegates?

The 2026 brochure does not mention accommodation, so nothing is promised here. The registration form has an optional box to flag that you need help with it, which lets the secretariat see how many delegates are travelling in and respond to you directly.

What is the International Press, and can I apply for it?

The International Press is DMUN's press corps: instead of debating an agenda, IP delegates cover the other five committees by writing reports, photographing sessions and interviewing delegates to a deadline. You can choose it as a committee preference on the registration form like any other.
