Miranda House

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

Miranda House, the University of Delhi's top-ranked women's college on North Campus, admits students to all its B.Sc, BA, M.Sc and MA programmes exclusively through CUET, with no direct or management quota. As of June 2026, the CUET UG 2026 cycle is in its final stage and Delhi University's CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) registration is the next gate for B.Sc and BA aspirants. Here are the most recent, dated developments an applicant to Miranda House must track:

• CUET UG 2026 result (most important pending milestone): Expected between 25 and 30 June 2026 on cuet.nta.nic.in; Miranda House cutoffs cannot be finalised until this score is out.
• CUET UG 2026 provisional answer key: Released on 9 June 2026, along with question papers and recorded responses; the final answer key is expected with the results.
• DU CSAS UG 2026 registration: Expected to open in the last week of June 2026 at admission.uod.ac.in; B.Sc and BA candidates must register here AND on the CUET portal to be considered for Miranda House.
• CUET UG 2026 exam: Conducted from 11 May to 31 May 2026 in CBT mode.
• CUET UG 2026 admit card: Released on 5 May 2026; the centre re-allocation window stayed open till 7 May 2026.
• CUET PG 2026 (for M.Sc and MA): Result already declared on 24 April 2026; DU CSAS-PG registration ran from 16 May to 7 June 2026.

The single deadline that matters most right now for B.Sc and BA aspirants is the DU CSAS UG registration opening in the last week of June 2026, because admission to Miranda House flows entirely through CSAS preference filling after the CUET UG result.

Miranda House Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

The table below sets out the programme-wise eligibility for Miranda House in 2026. Two questions dominate aspirant searches: "Do I need a minimum percentage?" and "Which entrance exam does Miranda House accept?" The answer is that Miranda House does not set a fixed cut-off percentage in Class 12; instead, you must have passed the relevant 10+2 stream and your admission is decided purely on CUET merit mapped to the right subjects. Because Miranda House is a women's college, all its undergraduate and postgraduate seats are open only to women candidates. Read each row as: pass the listed qualification, then clear CUET in the mapped subjects to compete for a seat.

The practical takeaway for 2026 is that your CUET subject choice, not your board percentage, is what wins a Miranda House seat. Science aspirants must ensure their CUET domain subjects (for example Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology) match the B.Sc honours they want, and BA aspirants must pick CUET subjects that map to the chosen honours. PG applicants should confirm their bachelor's discipline aligns with the M.Sc or MA specialisation before CSAS-PG preference filling.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This table summarises the live admission status of each Miranda House programme as of June 2026, the mode of entry, and the accepted exam. Aspirants frequently ask, "Is the Miranda House application still open?" The honest answer is that there is no separate Miranda House application form at all; the CUET application has already closed (UG closed 26 February 2026, PG by 23 January 2026), and the active step for B.Sc and BA is the upcoming DU CSAS UG registration. Use this table to confirm which gate is still open for your target programme and which exam result it depends on.

The next action for a B.Sc or BA aspirant is to keep CUET credentials ready and complete the CSAS UG registration as soon as it opens in late June 2026, then lock in Miranda House high on your preference list. PG aspirants who missed the 7 June 2026 CSAS-PG window will have to wait for any later spot/mid-entry rounds DU may announce. Miranda House releases admission against allotted seats only after CUET scores feed into the CSAS merit, so an early, accurate preference order is the single most controllable factor in your favour.

Application Fees

This section separates the two distinct payments an aspirant makes, because confusing them is the most common mistake. The first is the CUET exam/application fee paid to the National Testing Agency (the conducting body) at the time of registration; the second is Miranda House's own tuition/programme fee paid only after a seat is allotted. The table below lists the CUET UG 2026 and CUET PG 2026 application fees with every category on its own row, since OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD fees differ from General. CUET UG figures shown are the base fee for up to three subjects (additional subjects cost extra: ₹400 General, ₹375 OBC-NCL, ₹350 SC/ST/PwD per subject). Read it as the cost to merely sit the exam, not the cost to study at Miranda House.

Separately, the Miranda House programme/tuition fee is approximately ₹58,000 for B.Sc and ₹45,000 for BA (2026), payable only after seat allotment; M.Sc and MA tuition follows DU's PG fee structure and is not separately listed here. Note also the DU CSAS charge layered on top of CUET: the CSAS-PG application fee is ₹250 per programme for UR/OBC-NCL/EWS and ₹100 per programme for SC/ST/PwBD. Year on year, CUET fees have stayed broadly stable into 2026, so budget for the NTA fee at registration plus the Miranda House tuition only once you actually secure a seat.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Miranda House accepts only CUET, no other entrance exam. The table below maps each programme to its exam, the 2026 exam date, and the score band that is realistically competitive for Miranda House, which sits among the highest-demand colleges in Delhi University. Aspirants ask, "What CUET score do I need for Miranda House?" The blunt answer for 2026: arts honours typically demand normalised scores in the high 800s to mid 900s out of 1000, while science honours generally close lower, often in the 450 to 760 band depending on the subject. Treat the figures below as targets to aim above, not guarantees.

The clear takeaway is that arts aspirants need near-perfect CUET performance to enter Miranda House, while science aspirants have comparatively more breathing room, especially in Chemistry and Physics where closing scores have historically sat in the 440 to 510 range. Because all four programme families run through the same CUET-to-CSAS pipeline, your exam score is effectively your entire application. If you are reading this before a future cycle, aim a clear margin above these bands to survive Round 1 closing scores rather than waiting for later, lower rounds.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

This is the section most aspirants come for: the actual closing scores at Miranda House. The table presents 2025 Round 1 General category closing scores (the most recent confirmed cycle), a 2024 reference point, and the 2026 status, since 2026 cutoffs cannot exist until the CUET UG result lands at the end of June 2026. Scores are CUET normalised marks. Read each row as the General-category Round 1 closing score; reserved categories (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) close progressively lower than General. Use it to judge how far above the line you need to be.

The trend is unmistakable: arts cutoffs at Miranda House rose sharply from 2024 to 2025 (BA Economics jumped from 770 to 850.31, and Political Science topped the college at 925.98), driven by surging demand for a limited number of high-prestige seats. Science cutoffs stayed comparatively flat, with Physics and Chemistry hovering near 440 to 450, making them the most accessible honours at the college. For 2026, expect arts cutoffs to hold at or above 2025 levels and to fall round by round, so aspirants near the margin should keep Miranda House high on their CSAS list and watch later allotment rounds where closing scores dip (B.Sc has historically dropped as low as 155 in final rounds across categories).

Counselling Process

Admission to Miranda House is processed entirely through Delhi University's CSAS portal, not by the college directly. For B.Sc and BA (CUET UG) aspirants in 2026, the step-by-step flow is:

1. CUET UG 2026 (done): Exam held 11 to 31 May 2026; await result expected 25 to 30 June 2026.
2. CSAS Phase 1 - Registration: Register on admission.uod.ac.in (expected to open last week of June 2026) and pay the CSAS fee.
3. CSAS Phase 2 - Preference filling: After the CUET result, fill programme-plus-college combinations; list "B.Sc/BA (Hons) at Miranda House" as a high preference to maximise allotment odds.
4. Seat allotment: DU runs the CSAS algorithm and releases Round 1 allotment based on CUET merit, category and your preference order.
5. Accept and document verification: "Accept" the allotted Miranda House seat within the deadline; the college verifies your Class 10/12 certificates, CUET scorecard, category and other documents.
6. Fee payment: Pay the Miranda House programme fee (about ₹58,000 for B.Sc, ₹45,000 for BA, 2026) online to confirm admission; non-payment forfeits the seat.
7. Upgrade rounds: If unsatisfied, opt for "upgrade" in subsequent CSAS rounds while retaining your current seat as backup.

For M.Sc and MA, the same flow ran earlier through CSAS-PG (registration 16 May to 7 June 2026) on the back of the CUET PG result declared on 24 April 2026.

Important Dates (2026)

This master table consolidates every canonical milestone in the Miranda House 2026 admission cycle, anchored to the CUET UG schedule (since CUET is the only route in). Aspirants repeatedly ask, "What is the last date to apply?" and "When is the result?" so each event below carries its date and current status as of June 2026. Where an event's 2026 date has not been officially announced (such as the exact CSAS seat allotment date), it is listed as "to be announced" rather than omitted. Read the Status column to know what is already done versus what you still must act on.

The two dates an applicant must not miss are the CUET UG result around 25 to 30 June 2026 and the DU CSAS UG registration opening in the last week of June 2026, because everything at Miranda House cascades from these. Keep your CUET login, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and category certificate ready now so you can register and fill preferences the moment CSAS opens. Delays in preference filling, not low scores alone, are a frequent reason capable candidates miss a Miranda House seat in Round 1.
