Delhi University (DU) Cutoff 2025 - CUET-Based Admissions, College-Wise & Course-Wise
The University of Delhi transitioned to CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test) for undergraduate admissions in 2022, replacing the Class 12 percentage-based cutoff system. DU offers admissions to 90+ affiliated colleges with vastly different cutoffs. Top colleges like SRCC, Hindu College, St. Stephen's, Miranda House, and LSR require CUET scores in the 95-99+ percentile for popular courses. The CUET-based system standardizes admissions across boards but has created intense competition.
