CUET UG Cutoff 2026

The General CUET UG cutoff for B.Com. (Hons.) at Shri Ram College of Commerce was 924.3009 in 2026. That was the Delhi University Round 1 score. That number is a college's minimum allocation score, not a cutoff set by NTA. NTA sets no CUET UG cutoff, no pass mark and no rank list. Each university decides its own.

The word "cutoff" is used loosely, and mixing its meanings causes much of the worry. This page uses one meaning: the CUET UG cutoff is the lowest score that got a seat in a round. Check the CUET UG 2027 results page first if you want to know how your score is made.

The CUET UG cutoff 2027 does not exist yet, because NTA has not announced CUET UG 2027. The bulletin says NTA has no role in the merit list. The CUET UG cutoff you will see on the ground comes from the university or college.

Is there a CUET UG cutoff 2027?

No. There is no CUET UG cutoff 2027, and NTA does not release one. Universities will publish their own minimum scores after the 2027 result, if CUET UG 2027 is held. Until then, use the CUET UG cutoff 2026 files as your guide. Watch for the CUET UG cutoff 2027 after the result.

What does the CUET UG cutoff mean for my admission?

It tells you the score that was just enough for a seat. That is for one round, one college, one programme and one category. Think of the last seat in a school bus. The cutoff is the score of the last student who got on that bus. Next year the bus may have more or fewer seats, so use the number as a guide, not a promise.

Delhi University publishes a college-wise CUET UG cutoff for every programme in every round. DU calls it the minimum allocation score. The table shows the General (UR) score for 13 popular programmes in Round 1 and Round 2 of 2026.

These scores come from two DU files. The Round 1 file is dated 16 to 17 July 2026. The Round 2 file is dated 25 July 2026. Read them with the DU disclaimer in mind. DU says allocation depends on programme-specific eligibility, merit, social category, seat availability and tie-breaking rules.

What is the CUET UG cutoff for DU 2026?

There is no single CUET UG cutoff for DU 2026. The DU Round 1 press release of 16 July 2026 counts 1,393 programme and college combinations. The CUET UG cutoff marks 2026 in the 13 examples run from 509.9606 to 958.7147. The lowest is Physics at Miranda House. The highest is Political Science at Hindu College.

How do I read a minimum allocation score?

Find your college and programme in the CUET UG cutoff 2026 file, then your category column. Compare your programme-specific CUET UG score with that number. Take two made-up General candidates. One has 925.00 in the SRCC B.Com. (Hons.) combination and is above the Round 1 line of 924.3009. The other has 920.00 and is below it.

The score is not your overall total. DU adds only the subjects that the programme needs. B.Com. (Hons.) at DU uses a language, Mathematics or Accountancy, and two more subjects. That is four subjects, so the highest possible total is 4 × 250 = 1,000.

DU publishes a category-wise CUET UG cutoff in each round. The categories are UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, Sikh, PwBD, KM and SGC, among others. The table shows the category-wise scores for one programme, SRCC B.Com. (Hons.), in 2026.

In Round 1, the OBC-NCL score was about 75 marks below UR. The SC score was about 128 marks below, and the ST score was about 201 marks below. The EWS score was about 36 marks below. The seat counts come from the DU 2026-27 seat matrix. SRCC also has 31 extra seats each for PwBD, CW and KM candidates. Always read the seat matrix with the cutoff file. The seat matrix shows how many seats each category has in each college.

Can an OBC or SC student get a seat from the UR list?

Yes. DU says the UR merit list includes every candidate of every category. Each category-wise score is a separate column in the DU file. A reserved-category student with a high score can therefore be allocated a UR seat. DU gives each student the highest preference possible on merit, category and seats.

How full did each category get in Round 1?

DU's Round 1 press release of 16 July 2026 gives the share of seats filled. UR was 99.9%, OBC 96.0%, SC 95.2%, EWS 92.7%, ST 67.3% and PwBD 23.0%. The release also says 93,033 students got a seat offer in 221 programmes across 67 colleges. A low fill rate means some seats stayed open for later rounds.

There is no sectional CUET UG cutoff. NTA sets none, and DU prints none. A CUET UG paper has no sections and no section time. Each subject is one paper of 50 questions in 60 minutes.

Is there a sectional cutoff in CUET UG?

No. Each subject is a separate paper, and NTA gives one NTA Score per subject, up to 250. A university adds the subjects its programme needs. So the rule that matters is the subject combination, not a section mark. DU then publishes a college-wise score for that combination.

Here is a small example. DU needs one Language, Mathematics or Applied Mathematics, and two more subjects for B.A. (Hons.) Economics. DU builds your merit score from that set of four. DU takes the best score from any valid combination you have written. A weak score in a subject outside the set does not enter the merit score.

For the marking rule inside each paper, read the CUET UG exam pattern page. Before 2027, also check the CUET UG syllabus page for the 37 papers.

NTA gives you an NTA Score for each subject, not a rank or a percentile cutoff. A college's CUET UG cutoff is a score, so there is no overall rank to compare with. DU does show a tentative Simulated Rank on your dashboard before Round 1.

How do I turn my NTA Scores into a DU score?

Add the NTA Scores of the subjects that the programme accepts. Use your best valid combination. Here is an example with made-up numbers for B.Com. (Hons.). Language is 232.40 and Mathematics is 226.10. One more subject is 238.55 and another is 220.95. The total is 918.00.

Now compare this made-up 918.00 with the table above. It is below the Hindu College Round 1 score of 919.8738. It is above the Hansraj College Round 1 score of 907.5044. So Hansraj looks reachable and Hindu looks tight. Remember that this is a guide from the 2026 cycle.

What if two students have the same score?

DU breaks the tie in this order. First, the higher percentage in the best three subjects of Class 12. Then the best four, then the best five. After that, the earlier date of birth wins. The last step is the higher Class 10 percentage. NTA publishes no tie-break rule.

Delhi University is the only university whose college-wise CUET UG cutoff files were read in full for this page. Other universities run their own portals and rules, and this page does not give their cutoffs.

What is the CUET UG cutoff for BHU?

BHU runs its own admission process, so BHU sets its own CUET UG cutoff for BHU. This page has not collected it. BHU's 2026 registration ran from 9 July to 25 July 2026 at admission.bhu.ac.in. Read the BHU CUET UG information bulletin for its rounds.

Where can you see the top DU colleges?

The CUET UG colleges 2027 page lists the participating universities and the NIRF 2025 ranks of the leading DU colleges. SRCC and Hansraj College state on their own sites that admission is only through CUET UG and CSAS. Their past cut-off pages carried no 2026 numbers, so use the DU files above.

CUET UG Cutoff: Frequently Asked Questions

The only CUET UG cutoff files verified for this page are the DU files of 2026. They give the CUET UG cutoff marks 2026 for DU colleges. The CUET UG cutoff 2025 and 2024 files were not found, so this page gives no trend across years. It gives the CUET UG cutoff 2026 trend across rounds.

What was the CUET UG cutoff 2025?

This page does not give the CUET UG cutoff 2025. DU cutoffs for 2024 and 2025 were not opened for this page. A figure from memory would be a risk. Check the DU admission website for those years.

Did the CUET UG cutoff for DU fall in Round 2?

Yes. In all 13 college-wise examples in the table, the General score was lower in Round 2 than in Round 1. The fall was small for some programmes. It was 0.46 for SRCC B.Com. (Hons.) and 0.65 for Hindu College B.Com. (Hons.). It was bigger for Physics at Miranda House (29.58) and B.Com. (Hons.) at Acharya Narendra Dev College (28.05).

DU does not print a reason for these falls. A drop only means the last student admitted in Round 2 scored less than the last one in Round 1. So wait for each round before you decide that a seat is out of reach.

What about the CUET UG cutoff list for Round 3 and the spot round?

DU dated its Round 3 file 9 August 2026 and its spot round file 27 August 2026. Only some programmes and categories appear in them, and the score columns shift in the PDF. So this page does not quote Round 3 or spot figures. They are unverified here. Spot round scores are independent of all earlier rounds, as the DU rules say.
