Delhi University College Predictor 2026: Predict Your DU College Based on CUET UG Score

Delhi University remains one of the most sought-after destinations for undergraduate admissions in India. With over 70,000 UG seats across 91 colleges and admission based entirely on CUET UG scores, knowing where one stands before CSAS counselling begins is critical. The Collegedunia DU College Predictor 2026 helps students compare their CUET scores with last year's official cutoff data and plan their CSAS preferences wisely.

Latest Update: DU CSAS UG 2026 portal is expected to go live after CUET UG 2026 result, which is anticipated in the first week of July 2026. The Round 1 cutoff and first allotment list is expected in the third week of July 2026. Monitor the official portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in for all updates.

With the CUET UG 2026 results now announced, students can predict their admission chances at Delhi University and its 91 affiliated colleges using the Delhi University College Predictor.

• Admission to all 91 DU constituent colleges is based solely on CUET UG 2026 normalized scores.
• The Collegedunia DU College Predictor uses official DU CSAS 2025 allotment data to predict college and course eligibility.
• Students must register separately on the CSAS portal — a CUET score alone is not enough to secure a DU seat.
• In 2025, Hindu College's BA (Hons) Political Science recorded the highest DU cutoff at 950.58 out of 1000 for the General category.
• CUET UG 2026 result is expected in July 2026; CSAS UG 2026 registration and choice filling follow shortly after.
• The predictor covers all major categories: General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwBD.

What Is the DU College Predictor 2026?

The DU College Predictor is an online tool. It compares a student's CUET UG scores and profile with official CSAS cutoff data from 2025. The tool then shows which colleges and courses the student is likely eligible for — before the official Round 1 allotment is released.

It does not guarantee admission. Final seat allotment depends on CUET 2026 scores, CSAS preference order, seat availability, and official cutoffs. But it helps students plan a stronger preference list.

How the Collegedunia DU College Predictor Works

The Collegedunia predictor runs in five steps on the tool page. Students enter their profile, CUET scores, and course preferences. The tool then maps entries against official 2025 CSAS cutoff data and returns a list of safe, borderline, and ambitious options.

Here is the step-by-step process for using the tool:

1. Step 1 — Student Profile: Enter category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD), gender, campus preference, and prediction style (balanced, strict, or optimistic).
2. Step 2 — Subjects and CUET Scores: Select Class 12 subjects studied and enter CUET normalized scores for each paper (out of 250 per paper). The predictor automatically picks the best valid subject combination for each DU programme.
3. Step 3 — Course Preferences: Optionally add preferred courses (BA, B.Com, B.Sc, etc.) to narrow down results.
4. Step 4 — Prediction: The tool compares the Combined Merit Score (CMS) against last year's CSAS Round 1 cutoffs and classifies colleges as Safe, Borderline, or Ambitious.
5. Step 5 — Counselling Guidance: The counselling section explains the results and suggests a preference-filling strategy for the CSAS portal.

Example: A General category commerce student with a CUET score of 895 in B.Com (Hons) CMS would find SRCC (cutoff: 917 in 2025) as Ambitious, Hindu College (cutoff: 912) as Ambitious, Hansraj College (cutoff: 901) as Borderline, and Kirodimal College (cutoff: 883) as a Safe option. The predictor lists all three tiers — so the student can fill a preference sheet covering every scenario.

What Is CUET Combined Merit Score (CMS) for DU?

Unlike some universities that use a single-subject score, Delhi University calculates a Combined Merit Score (CMS). This is the sum of a student's NTA normalized scores across the required domain subjects for a specific programme.

For most DU UG programmes, the CMS is the sum of the best four qualifying subject scores (each out of 250), giving a maximum of 1000 marks. Science programmes typically sum the top three subject scores (maximum 750). Students should enter this combined score — not individual paper scores — in the predictor to get accurate results.

DU CUET 2025 Cutoff — Top Colleges and Courses (Reference for 2026 Planning)

The 2025 DU CSAS Round 1 cutoff data is the primary benchmark for the Collegedunia predictor. These figures are from the official DU CSAS UG allotment data released at ugadmission.uod.ac.in on July 19, 2025. The 2026 cutoffs are expected in the third week of July 2026 and may shift based on CUET difficulty and applicant volume.

Note: St. Stephen's College follows a separate admission process for most seats. OBC-NCL figures above are indicative based on previous trends; official data varies. Students should use the official CSAS portal for verified cutoffs once released.

DU Cutoff 2025 — Category-wise Overview

Cutoffs at Delhi University drop significantly across reserved categories. This is important when using any college predictor — students must enter the correct category to see accurate results.

Exact figures for OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and PwBD are released on the official DU CSAS portal per round. Students can access detailed category-wise cutoffs at DU cutoff for General category, SC/ST category, and EWS category.

Score Ranges and Realistic College Targets

DU has colleges across a wide cutoff range. Students with any CUET score can find options — the key is knowing which tier to target and building a preference list that covers all three.

Example for a Commerce student: A student scoring 870 in the B.Com CMS should place Hansraj College at preference 1, Kirodimal College at preference 2, PGDAV at preference 3, and Dyal Singh at preference 4 — before adding evening college options. This ensures a seat is secured even if the top choices do not clear.

How to Use the Predictor Results for CSAS Preference Filling

The predictor classifies colleges into three tiers: Safe, Borderline, and Ambitious. Students should use all three tiers when filling the DU CSAS preference sheet.

The recommended strategy:

• Place 1–2 Ambitious choices at the top of the preference list (dream colleges).
• Add 3–5 Borderline choices in the middle (realistic targets).
• Include 3–5 Safe choices at the bottom (backup colleges).
• Always lock the preference list before the CSAS deadline. The order cannot be changed after locking.
• After Round 1 allotment, choose Upgrade — this keeps the current seat while allowing DU to move the student to a higher preference in Round 2 if a vacancy opens.

Example: A student targeting BA (Hons) Political Science should list Hindu College at preference 1, Miranda House at preference 2, and Kirori Mal at preference 3 — not just the top choice. Filling only one or two preferences is a common mistake that limits upgrade chances in later rounds.

DU Colleges with Low Cutoff — Options for Lower Scores

Delhi University is not just SRCC and Hindu College. Evening colleges, off-campus colleges, and NCWEB offer seats at significantly lower cutoffs — making DU accessible to students across all score ranges.

• Evening colleges like Zakir Hussain (Evening) and Dyal Singh (Evening) have cutoffs as low as 500–700 for many courses.
• Off-campus colleges affiliated with DU have their own cutoff lists, often 100–200 marks lower than North/South Campus colleges for the same programme.
• NCWEB (Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board) offers BA and B.Com courses to women through DU at separate, lower cutoffs.
