Delhi University admits undergraduates entirely through CUET scores via the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). Understanding how cutoffs work removes a huge amount of anxiety.
Cutoffs are demand, not difficulty
A cutoff is simply the score of the last student admitted to a course. High-demand courses like B.Com (Hons.) and Economics (Hons.) carry the steepest cutoffs because everyone wants them, not because the course is harder.
Use historical outcomes carefully
The mistake is treating one historic cutoff as a guaranteed future threshold. Compare official admission-cycle data only after confirming the required CUET paper combination, category, college, course, and allocation round.
- Pick 2–3 target programmes
- Confirm each official subject combination
- Track subject-level full-mock ranges
- Keep realistic alternatives you would be happy to accept
