Who is eligible to participate in Delhi MUN?

Where is the conference held?

Delhi MUN takes place in Delhi, India, which gives the conference a distinctly South Asian and Global South policy texture across its committees.

What is the format of the event?

It is a short-format weekend conference, which means delegates should arrive with position papers and draft resolution ideas already prepared rather than expecting time to develop them on-site.

Summary

Delhi Model United Nations brings the secondary-school MUN circuit back to one of South Asia's most consequential capitals, offering high-school delegates a compact, weekend-format conference in the Indian summer. The event is positioned for students who want a substantive committee experience in a city that sits at the intersection of Global South diplomacy, climate negotiation, and regional security debates. With registration handled through the mymun platform and a clear high-school eligibility profile, Delhi MUN is best read as an entry-to-intermediate stage on the Indian circuit - a place where first-time delegates can test research and speaking craft while more experienced students prepare for larger national and international conferences later in the academic year.

Why this edition matters in 2026

Delhi is not a neutral backdrop. Conferences hosted in the Indian capital inevitably absorb the texture of live foreign-policy debates: India's balancing act between Western partners and BRICS counterparts, its leadership ambitions in multilateral climate finance, and its role as a swing voice on questions ranging from Indo-Pacific security to digital governance. Delegates who walk into committee here are stepping into a city where these debates are daily news, not abstractions. For high-school students in particular, this matters because MUN is most useful when the host environment reinforces the substance. A committee on sustainable development or non-aligned diplomacy lands differently in Delhi than it does in a European capital, and chairs drawn from the local circuit tend to push delegates toward the lived complexity of Global South positions rather than a sanitised Western reading of them. The conference also matters as circuit infrastructure. India hosts one of the largest MUN ecosystems in the world by participant volume, and weekend conferences in Delhi serve as feeders into the larger residential events that define the competitive Indian calendar. A strong performance here is a credible signal for selection into more prestigious delegations.

How to prepare

Preparation should start with the obvious unglamorous work: read the committee background guide twice, then read the actual UN resolutions it cites. Most high-school delegates lose points not because their ideas are weak but because their procedural fluency and source grounding are thin. Build a one-page position paper that names three concrete policy levers your country can pull, and rehearse the opening speech aloud until it fits inside the speakers' list time limit without rushing. Because the conference sits in Delhi, delegates should pay special attention to how their assigned country interacts with India on the committee topic. Even when India is not the headline actor, its position often shapes the bloc dynamics - particularly in committees touching climate, technology transfer, development finance, or South Asian security. Knowing where your country agrees and disagrees with the host's foreign policy gives you a faster route into meaningful bloc negotiation. Finally, treat the weekend format as a constraint that rewards preparation. With committee sessions compressed across two days, there is no recovery time for delegates who arrive cold. The students who win awards in short-format conferences are almost always the ones who walked in with a draft resolution outline already sketched, ready to anchor a bloc rather than join one.
