Hindu College

What are the cutoffs for Hindu College in 2026?

Hindu College, New Delhi admits all undergraduate students purely on CUET UG scores routed through Delhi University's CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System), so the "cutoff" here is the closing CUET merit score (out of 1000) at which a course filled in each allocation round, not a board-marks percentage or a JEE-style rank. For 2026, the official Hindu College closing scores will be published in the third week of July 2026 on the DU admission portal (ugadmission.uod.ac.in) after the CSAS Phase 2 preference window, because NTA is expected to declare CUET UG 2026 results in early July 2026. Until then, the most reliable benchmark is the 2025 Round 1 data: B.A. (Hons.) Political Science closed highest for the unreserved category at 950.58, followed by B.A. (Hons.) History at 914.38 and B.Com (Hons.) at 912.22, while B.Sc. (Hons.) Physics closed far lower at 557.26. In short, an aspirant targeting Hindu College's flagship humanities and commerce programmes in 2026 should be aiming for a CUET score in the 880-950 band for the General category, with science programmes accessible at lower scores.

It is worth knowing how Hindu College's CUET merit is built: for most B.A. (Hons.) and B.Com (Hons.) courses, DU computes the best of the relevant Language plus three Domain subjects, so the headline 1000-scale figures below reflect that four-subject aggregate as allocated through CSAS rounds.

Year-Wise Cutoff Trends (2024-2026)

This table tracks how Hindu College's General-category closing scores have moved across 2024, 2025 and 2026 for its most-demanded programmes, answering the core question every applicant has: "Is the bar at Hindu College going up or down?" The 2025 column shows verified Round 1 closing scores on the 1000-mark CUET scale released on 19 July 2025; the 2024 column shows the approximate General-category closing band reported for that cycle; and the 2026 column is marked Awaited because DU will only publish 2026 cutoffs in the third week of July 2026. Read each row left to right to see the direction of travel for that course.

The clear takeaway is that Hindu College's General-category cutoffs have risen sharply from the 2024 cycle into 2025, with Political Science and History sitting at the very top of the college's demand curve. For a 2026 aspirant this means the 2025 Round 1 figures are the realistic floor to plan around, and the gap between Round 1 and later rounds is small at Hindu College because seats fill fast. Treat the 2024 numbers as directional only, since the absolute scale of the CUET merit aggregate shifted between cycles.

Course-Wise Cutoff at Hindu College

This table gives the full category-wise 2025 Round 1 closing scores (out of 1000) for Hindu College, so an applicant can read off the exact number their own category needs for each programme. It answers the question "What CUET score do I need for my course and my category at Hindu College?" Columns run UR (General), OBC, SC, ST and EWS; find your course row, then your category column. These are the verified first-list closing scores from the 2025 CSAS allocation and are the best available proxy for 2026 planning.

The course-wise spread at Hindu College is dramatic: B.A. (Hons.) Political Science (UR 950.58) demands nearly 470 more marks than B.A. (Hons.) Sanskrit (UR 480.32), and the science honours courses close well below the humanities flagships. Reserved-category aspirants get meaningful relief, with OBC closing roughly 70-120 marks under UR in the commerce and economics streams, and SC/ST closing lower still. The practical lesson is that your category column matters as much as your course row when judging your chances here.

Cutoff Trend Analysis

Hindu College's cutoffs are firmly on a rising trajectory for its marquee programmes, and the table makes the reason plain: as one of DU's top-ranked North Campus colleges, demand for B.A. (Hons.) Political Science, B.A. (Hons.) History and B.Com (Hons.) consistently outstrips a fixed seat pool, pushing General-category closing scores into the 910-950 band in the 2025 Round 1 list. The jump from the 2024 General-category closing range (roughly 746-794) into the 2025 figures reflects both intensifying competition and the maturing CUET scoring pattern, where toppers cluster near the ceiling and a handful of marks separate hundreds of candidates. Realistically, a 2026 General-category aspirant needs around 950+ to be confident of Political Science, about 910-915 for History and B.Com (Hons.), roughly 885-890 for Economics and English, and the low-to-mid 800s for B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics and Statistics. Reserved-category candidates can target proportionally lower scores as shown in the course-wise table, but should still aim near or above their 2025 closing figure since later CSAS rounds at Hindu College move only marginally before seats exhaust. The safest strategy is to rank Hindu College high in your CSAS preference order and pair an ambitious first choice with a realistic backup course in the same college.
