Introduction
The CUET UG 2026 result was declared on June 23, 2026. Over 15.68 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, the largest cohort in CUET’s history. The seat count at Delhi University has not increased. The result is predictable: every BCom (Hons) cutoff at every notable DU college is heading higher than 2025.
In 2025, SRCC closed BCom (Hons) admissions for the General category at 917.43 in Round 1 and 913 in the Final Round. Analysts tracking DU CSAS data project SRCC’s BCom cutoff to cross 925 in 2026, possibly higher if high-scorers cluster their preferences around North Campus colleges.

The official CUET 2026 cutoffs for DU will be released through the CSAS portal in the third week of July 2026. This guide uses verified 2025 official closing scores from the CSAS portal and 2026 trend projections to help BCom aspirants plan their preferences before those numbers arrive.
How DU BCom Admission Works in 2026
Delhi University does not publish a traditional cutoff list. Instead, it operates through CSAS, the Common Seat Allocation System, where seats are allocated based on candidate preferences and CUET normalised scores.
Every student who appeared for CUET 2026 must register on the DU CSAS UG portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in after the result. They fill their college and program preferences in priority order and lock them. DU then runs multiple allocation rounds. The closing score of the last seat filled in each round becomes the effective cutoff for that round.
This is why timing and preference order matter. An aspirant who fills SRCC as Preference 1 and Hindu College as Preference 2 may receive Hindu College in Round 1 but can choose to retain the Round 1 seat and try to upgrade to SRCC in Round 2. The CSAS upgrade mechanism is one of the most underused tools in DU admission strategy.
For BCom (Hons) specifically, the required CUET subjects are English and any three of Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics, and Mathematics. Scores from these subjects combine to a maximum of 1000 marks in the normalised format used by DU.
Have Any Doubts?
Tier 1: The Most Competitive BCom Colleges in 2026
Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC)
SRCC is India’s most prestigious undergraduate commerce institution. It is consistently the college with the highest BCom (Hons) cutoff across all DU colleges.
In 2025, SRCC maintained its long-standing dominance with the highest cutoff of 917.43 for BCom (Hons) in Round 1, followed by Hindu College at 912.21 and Lady Shri Ram College at 906.37. The 2026 expected General category cutoff is 925 to 930, based on rising candidate volumes and stable seat availability. Getting into SRCC BCom (Hons) in 2026 will almost certainly require a normalised score north of 925.
SRCC is located in North Campus, Delhi. Annual fees are approximately Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 at government college rates. Top recruiters for BCom graduates include Goldman Sachs, BCG, McKinsey, EY, KPMG, and Deutsche Bank. The placement ceiling for exceptional BCom performers at SRCC reaches Rs 18 to 22 LPA. The average BCom placement is Rs 5 to 8 LPA.
For aspirants scoring in the 925 to 1000 range, SRCC should be the unambiguous first preference.
Hindu College
Hindu College is NIRF’s top-ranked college in India overall. In the commerce stream, Hindu College followed SRCC with a BCom (Hons) cutoff of 912.21 in 2025 Round 1. The 2026 expected General category cutoff is 915 to 925.
Hindu College is a full-spectrum college offering Arts, Commerce, and Science alongside BCom (Hons). The campus culture is more intellectually diverse than SRCC’s commerce-focused environment. The alumni network spans BFSI, consulting, media, politics, and academia, a broader range than most specialist commerce colleges.
Annual fees are at DU government rates, approximately Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 per year. Aspirants scoring 915 to 930 should list Hindu College as their top preference alongside SRCC.
Tier 2: Strong BCom Colleges with Slightly Lower Cutoffs
Lady Shri Ram College (LSR)
The Lady Shree Ram cutoff 2026 is expected to be 909 to 919 for BCom (Hons). In 2025, LSR closed at 906.37 in Round 1 for the General category.
LSR is a women-only college, which creates a campus culture distinct from co-educational institutions. The college is known for strong academic standards and an active placement cell. Recruiters visiting LSR BCom include EY, Deloitte, and several BFSI institutions.
Hansraj College
Hansraj College followed with a BCom (Hons) cutoff of 901.71 in 2025 Round 1. The 2026 expected General category cutoff is 908 to 915.
Hansraj is co-educational, North Campus, and academically rigorous across Science and Commerce. Its location in North Campus gives BCom students access to the same Delhi corporate network as SRCC. The campus culture is energetic, with strong participation in inter-college competitions and management festivals.
Ramjas College
Ramjas College is one of DU’s oldest institutions, established in 1917. BCom (Hons) at Ramjas closed at approximately 880 to 895 in 2025 for the General category. The 2026 expected cutoff is 885 to 900.
Ramjas offers a strong BCom program within a campus known for vibrant student activity. The North Campus location is the primary practical advantage for BCom students targeting Delhi-NCR corporate placements.
Tier 3: Accessible BCom Colleges for Scores Between 840 and 890
Miranda House
Miranda House is a women-only college ranked 2nd nationally in NIRF’s College category. The expected General category CUET cutoff 2026 for Miranda House is 893 to 903 for BCom.
Miranda House’s BCom program benefits from the college’s strong research culture and faculty depth across disciplines. The campus is South Campus, which has a slightly different corporate access dynamic compared to North Campus colleges.
Deshbandhu College
Deshbandhu is a South Campus college with BCom (Hons) cutoffs in the 860 to 880 range for 2025 General category. The 2026 expected cutoff is 865 to 882.
The South Campus location provides access to a different set of Delhi employers, including education sector, retail, and media companies. For aspirants targeting roles in South Delhi-based corporations, Deshbandhu’s location is contextually relevant.
ARSD College
ARSD College (Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma) offers BCom (Hons) with 2025 General category cutoffs in the 850 to 870 range. The 2026 projection places it at 855 to 875.
ARSD has consistently improved its placement record over the past three cycles and now has a small but active placement cell connecting students to BFSI and consulting roles in South Delhi.
Tier 4: Mid-Range BCom Colleges for Scores Between 750 and 850
Several DU colleges offer BCom (Hons) with closing scores in the 750 to 850 range, making them accessible to aspirants who scored competitively in CUET but not at the top percentile band.
Key colleges in this range include:
- Gargi College and Kamala Nehru College: Mid-tier colleges like Gargi and Kamala Nehru came in between 745 and 770 in 2025, more realistic targets for scores in the 760 to 810 range.
- Dyal Singh College, Zakir Husain College: BCom (Hons) programs with 2025 closing scores in the 800 to 840 range. Both have growing placement connections with BFSI employers.
- Sri Aurobindo College, Mata Sundri College: South Campus institutions with BCom cutoffs in the 780 to 820 range. Both have quiet but consistent placement records in accounting, taxation, and banking roles.

CSAS Strategy: How to Fill Preferences Wisely
This is where most aspirants make avoidable mistakes. Filling preferences in the wrong order can cost you a better allocation.
Fill your genuine aspiration colleges first. Do not self-reject based on perceived competition. If your score is 910, list SRCC as your first preference even if the projected cutoff is 925, because Round 1 may not clear it, but Round 2 sometimes sees drops if SRCC allocated students choose to upgrade to another program elsewhere.
List every realistic college in order of genuine preference. A student with 900 normalised scores should list SRCC, Hindu, Hansraj, LSR, Ramjas, Miranda House, and ARSD in that order, not just the top two. Every preference slot used is an additional safety net.
Do not rush to accept an early allocation if better options remain. The CSAS upgrade mechanism allows candidates to retain Round 1 seats and keep competing in Round 2. Accept only when you are satisfied with the allocation or have exhausted all upgrade possibilities.
What a DU BCom (Hons) Degree Actually Delivers
A DU BCom (Hons) from a top college is not just an undergraduate degree. It is a credentialing signal for banking and financial services, consulting, and postgraduate entrance exams like CA, CFA, and MBA through CAT.
The DU BCom curriculum covers Financial Accounting, Corporate Laws, Cost Accounting, Auditing, Business Mathematics, Economics, and Entrepreneurship across six semesters. The course structure is designed to align with CA Foundation and Intermediate exams, which many BCom students pursue simultaneously.
Placement outcomes at the top DU BCom colleges are modest by national private university standards but exceptional by fee benchmarks. SRCC BCom places students at Goldman Sachs, EY, KPMG, and Deutsche Bank at fees under Rs 20,000 per year. No private college in India delivers that fee-to-recruiter ratio.
