Hindu College

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

Hindu College, one of the University of Delhi's most sought-after constituent colleges in North Campus, admits students to all its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes strictly through CUET and the University's CSAS counselling. Here are the most recent, dated developments as of June 2026 that every Hindu College aspirant must track:

• CUET UG 2026 result (most important deadline-linked event): The National Testing Agency is scheduled to declare the CUET UG 2026 result by 26 June 2026, which directly triggers Hindu College's admission through DU's CSAS portal.
• CUET UG 2026 provisional answer key: Released on 9 June 2026; the objection window for challenging answers stayed open until 11 June 2026.
• CUET UG 2026 exam: Conducted from 11 May to 31 May 2026 (with rescheduled sittings on 6 and 7 June 2026 for candidates originally slotted on 28 May 2026).
• CUET UG 2026 admit card: Released on 5 May 2026; the city intimation slip came earlier on 29 April 2026.
• CUET UG 2026 application: The form opened on 3 January 2026 and, after extensions, closed on 4 February 2026, with a final reopened window from 23 to 26 February 2026. There is no separate application form for Hindu College itself.
• CUET PG 2026 (for M.A., M.Sc., M.Com.): Registration closed on 14 January 2026, the exam ran from 6 to 27 March 2026, and results have been declared, so PG aspirants should now await DU's PG admission schedule.
• DU CSAS 2026 (Hindu College counselling): The CSAS UG portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in is expected to open for registration in June 2026, immediately after the CUET UG result, with preference filling and seat allotment following in July 2026.

Aspirants targeting Hindu College should treat the 26 June 2026 CUET UG result as the pivot date, because the college does not run an independent application. Your CUET score, the programmes you list on the CSAS portal, and the category cutoff together decide your seat.

Hindu College Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

The table below sets out the programme-wise eligibility for Hindu College admission in 2026. It answers the single most common question aspirants ask: "Am I eligible for the course I want at Hindu College?" Eligibility at Hindu College is governed by University of Delhi norms, which combine a 10+2 (for UG) or bachelor's degree (for PG) qualifying requirement with a valid CUET score in the prescribed subjects. Read each row as a pair of conditions that must both be satisfied: the academic qualification on the left and the CUET examination on the right. Note that for UG programmes the qualifying marks are indicative DU minimums; the actual admission bar is the much higher CUET cutoff discussed later.

The key takeaway is that eligibility alone does not secure a Hindu College seat; it only qualifies you to compete. For UG aspirants, make sure your CUET domain subjects map exactly to the programme (for example, a B.Com (Hons) applicant must have offered the relevant Commerce/Mathematics domain papers). PG aspirants must hold a bachelor's degree in the cognate discipline before the CSAS PG allocation. Next, verify which of these programmes are actually accepting applications in 2026 using the status table below.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This table tracks the live admission status of Hindu College's major programmes for the 2026-2027 session. Aspirants frequently ask whether a particular course is "open" yet, but at Hindu College the application is never to the college directly; it is to CUET first and then to DU's CSAS portal. "Application Status" here therefore reflects the stage of that combined CUET-CSAS pipeline as of June 2026. The Mode column confirms that every seat is merit-based on CUET, and the Seats column reflects the indicative intake; exact seat matrices are finalised by DU each cycle. Use this table to confirm that your target programme is admitting in 2026 before you lock preferences.

The practical takeaway for June 2026 is that UG aspirants are now in the most decisive window: with CUET UG over and results due by 26 June 2026, your next action is to register on the CSAS portal and rank Hindu College high in your preference list. PG aspirants have already cleared CUET PG and should monitor DU's PG seat allocation announcements. Because seats are allotted strictly on CUET merit, there is no scope for a direct or management quota at Hindu College.

Application Fees

This section separates the two distinct payments a Hindu College aspirant makes, because confusing them is a common and costly mistake. The first is the CUET application fee paid to the National Testing Agency (the conducting body) when you register for the entrance exam; the second is the college tuition/programme fee paid to Hindu College only after a seat is allotted. The table below lists the CUET UG 2026 exam fee for each category on its own row (for up to three subjects), and then shows the Hindu College annual tuition fee for reference. Read the Category column carefully, because OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST and PwD fees differ from the General fee. The CUET fee structure for 2026 remained unchanged from 2025.

The takeaways are straightforward. The CUET exam fee is a small one-time payment to the NTA, while the real cost of studying at Hindu College is the annual tuition, which is ₹93,810 for B.Sc and ₹86,010 for B.Com (Hons) and BA programmes in 2026. The CUET UG 2026 fee did not rise from 2025, so budget the same amount as last year's applicants. Always verify the per-subject add-on if you are appearing in more than three CUET subjects, as it materially increases the General-category total.

Entrance Exam Requirements

This table answers exactly which entrance exam Hindu College accepts for each programme in 2026, when that exam was held, and what score band is realistically competitive at this specific college. Hindu College accepts only CUET (UG) for its undergraduate degrees and CUET PG for its postgraduate degrees; it does not consider any private or college-level test. Because Hindu College sits among the highest-demand DU colleges, the "typical qualifying score" column reflects the elevated bar seen here rather than a generic CUET pass mark. Use it to gauge whether your expected CUET score is in contention.

The clear message is that CUET is non-negotiable at Hindu College, and for its flagship humanities and commerce honours courses you should aim well above the 880/800 mark in the General category to be safe. B.Sc and Programme-track aspirants have slightly more breathing room, but competition remains intense given the college's reputation. PG aspirants should focus on scoring highly in their specific CUET PG subject paper, since DU's PG merit is built on that single domain score.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

Cutoffs are the single most decisive number for a Hindu College aspirant, so this table compiles the published CUET closing scores (out of 800, General category, first allocation round) across 2024 and 2025, with 2026 shown as expected because the official 2026 cutoffs are released only after seat allocation in July 2026. These figures are drawn from DU's CSAS allocation data as reported by reputable education portals; treat them as the realistic admission bar rather than the eligibility minimum. Read each row across the years to see the direction of movement, and note that category-reserved cutoffs (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS) fall below the General figures shown here. The college name appears against scores that are among the highest in all of Delhi University.

The trend is unmistakably upward: Hindu College cutoffs rose sharply from 2024 to 2025, with marquee courses like BA (Hons) Political Science climbing from the 792-794 band in 2024 to a Round 1 close of 951 in 2025. This rise reflects the growing number of high-scoring CUET candidates concentrating their preferences on top North Campus colleges and the normalisation effect of CUET scoring. For 2026, expect cutoffs to stay elevated, so applicants should rank Hindu College and a realistic spread of programmes on the CSAS portal rather than gambling on a single high-cutoff course. Reserved-category aspirants benefit from materially lower bars, as the 2025 Economics figures (OBC 685, SC 705, ST 605) demonstrate.

Counselling Process

Admission to Hindu College in 2026 runs entirely through Delhi University's Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), not a college-level counselling. Follow these steps in order, with dates where confirmed as of June 2026:

1. Appear for CUET: Sit CUET UG 2026 (held 11-31 May 2026) for undergraduate courses, or CUET PG 2026 (held 6-27 March 2026) for postgraduate courses. Await the CUET UG result due by 26 June 2026.
2. CSAS Phase I - Registration: Register on the DU CSAS portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in (expected to open in June 2026), entering your personal, academic and CUET details.
3. CSAS Phase II - Preference filling: List your College + Programme combinations in strict order of priority, ranking Hindu College and your chosen course as high as your CUET score justifies. The portal allows a large number of combinations, so include realistic backups.
4. Seat allotment: DU runs the CUET merit-cum-preference algorithm and publishes the seat allocation list (expected July 2026). If allotted a Hindu College seat, you must accept it within the stipulated window.
5. Document verification: On acceptance, Hindu College verifies your uploaded documents (Class 10 and 12 marksheets, CUET 2026 scorecard, category certificate if applicable, transfer/migration certificate, photo, signature and ID proof).
6. Fee payment and admission: Pay the programme fee online to confirm admission (₹86,010 for BA and B.Com Hons, ₹93,810 for B.Sc in 2026). Subsequent CSAS rounds (upgrade/spot rounds) follow if seats remain.

Because seat allotment is preference-driven, the smartest move for a Hindu College aspirant is to rank the college and course combinations thoughtfully in Phase II rather than leaving slots blank.

Important Dates (2026)

This master table consolidates every canonical milestone in the Hindu College 2026 admission cycle, from CUET application through CSAS document verification, so you can see the whole journey on one screen. Each event carries its confirmed date where the NTA or DU has announced it, and "to be announced" where the official 2026 date is not yet public as of June 2026. Read the Status column to know whether an event is already completed, currently live, or upcoming. This is the table to bookmark, because missing a single CSAS deadline can cost you a Hindu College seat regardless of your CUET score.

The most time-critical takeaway is that the cycle now narrows to the CUET UG result by 26 June 2026 and the CSAS registration that follows in June-July 2026. Completed events (application, admit card, exam, answer key) are behind you; your entire focus should be on the upcoming CSAS phases. Keep your documents scanned and ready before the result drops, because document verification at Hindu College begins immediately after each seat allotment and operates on tight, non-extendable windows.
